explain_fpathconf_or_die - get file configuration and report errors

#include <libexplain/fpathconf.h>

long explain_fpathconf_or_die(int fildes, int name);

The explain_fpathconf_or_die function is used to call the fpathconf(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fpathconf(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:

long result = explain_fpathconf_or_die(fildes, name);
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system call.
The name, exactly as to be passed to the fpathconf(3) system call.
This function only returns on success, see fpathconf(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

fpathconf(3)

explain_fpathconf(3)

exit(2)
