explain_accept_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_accept_or_die function is used to call the accept(2) system call. On failure an explanation
will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_accept(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:
int fd = explain_accept_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.
sock_addr
The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.
sock_addr_size
The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success, see accept(2) for more information. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
