explain_fchdir_or_die3

Change directory and report errors

Usage

#include <libexplian/fchdir.h>
void explain_fchdir_or_die(int fildes);

Overview

The explain_fchdir_or_die function is used to change directory via the fchdir(2) system call. On failure, it prints an error message on stderr via explain_fchdir(3), and exits.

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

explain_fchdir_or_die(fildes);
fildes

exactly as to be passed to the fchdir(2) system call.
