NAME

       explain_tcsetattr_or_die - set terminal attributes and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/tcsetattr.h>
       void explain_tcsetattr_or_die(int fildes, int options, const struct termios *data);
       int explain_tcsetattr_on_error(int fildes, int options, const struct termios *data);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_tcsetattr_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  tcsetattr(3) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the  explain_tcsetattr(3)  function,  and  then  the
       process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_tcsetattr_on_error  function  is  used  to  call the tcsetattr(3) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_tcsetattr(3) function, but still returns
       to the caller.

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.

       options The options, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.

       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_tcsetattr_or_die function only returns on success, see tcsetattr(3) for more information. On
       failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_tcsetattr_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by  the  wrapped  tcsetattr(3)
       system call.

EXAMPLE

       The  explain_tcsetattr_or_die  function  is  intended  to  be  used in a fashion similar to the following
       example:
              explain_tcsetattr_or_die(fildes, options, data);
