NAME

       explain_freopen_or_die - open file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/freopen.h>
       void explain_freopen_or_die(const char *pathname, const char *flags, FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_freopen_or_die  function  is  used to reopen a file via the freopen(3) system
       call.  On failure it will print an explanation, obtained  from  the  linexplain_freopen(3)
       function, on the standard error stream and then exit.

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              explain_freopen_or_die(pathname, flags, fp);

       pathname
               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system call.

       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the freopen(3) system call.

       Returns:
               Only ever return on success.  Never returns on failure.
