explain_pipe_or_die − create pipe and report errors
#include <libexplain/pipe.h>
void explain_pipe_or_die(int *pipefd);
The explain_pipe_or_die function is used to call the pipe(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_pipe(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_pipe_or_die(pipefd);
|
pipefd |
The pipefd, exactly as to be passed to the pipe(2) system call. |
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
|
create pipe |
explain pipe(2) errors
|
terminate the calling process |
