explain_getrlimit_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_getrlimit_or_die function is used to call the getrlimit(2) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_getrlimit(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_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);
resource
The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.
rlim The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
