explain_rmdir_or_die - delete a directory and report errors

#include <libexplain/rmdir.h>

void explain_rmdir_or_die(const char *pathname);

The explain_rmdir_or_die function is used to call the rmdir(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_rmdir(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_rmdir_or_die(pathname);
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the rmdir(2) system call.
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

rmdir(2)
delete a directory
explain_rmdir(3)
explain rmdir(2) errors
exit(2)
terminate the calling process
