explain_gettimeofday_or_die − get time and report errors
#include <libexplain/gettimeofday.h>
void explain_gettimeofday_or_die(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);
The explain_gettimeofday_or_die function is used to call the gettimeofday(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);
tv |
The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call. |
||
tz |
The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call. |
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
get time
explain gettimeofday(2) errors
terminate the calling process |
