       The  explain_connect_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  connect(2)  system  call.   On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_connect(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_connect_or_die(fildes, serv_addr, serv_addr_size);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.

       serv_addr
               The serv_addr, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.

       serv_addr_size
               The serv_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
