explain_chown_or_die − change ownership of a file and report errors
#include <libexplain/chown.h>
void explain_chown_or_die(const char *pathname, int owner, int group);
The explain_chown_or_die function is used to call the chown(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_chown(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_chown_or_die(pathname, owner, group);
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call.
|
owner |
The owner, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call. |
||
|
group |
The group, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call. |
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
change ownership of a file
explain chown(2) errors
|
terminate the calling process |
