explain_socketpair_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_socketpair_or_die function is used to call the socketpair(2) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_socketpair(3) function, and then the
process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_socketpair_on_error function is used to call the socketpair(2) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_socketpair(3) function, but still
returns to the caller.
domain The domain, exactly as to be passed to the socketpair(2) system call.
type The type, exactly as to be passed to the socketpair(2) system call.
protocol
The protocol, exactly as to be passed to the socketpair(2) system call.
sv The sv, exactly as to be passed to the socketpair(2) system call.
Example
The explain_socketpair_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
example:
explain_socketpair_or_die(domain, type, protocol, sv);
Name
explain_socketpair_or_die - create pair of connected sockets and report errors
Return Value
The explain_socketpair_or_die function only returns on success, see socketpair(2) for more information.
On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.
The explain_socketpair_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped socketpair(2)
system call.
