                                                                                         explain_popen_or_die(3)

       The  explain_popen_or_die  function  is used to call the popen(3) system call.  On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_popen(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:
              FILE *fp = explain_popen_or_die(command, flags);

       command The command, exactly as to be passed to the popen(3) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the popen(3) system call.

       Returns:
               This  function only returns on success, see popen(3) for more information.  On failure, prints an
               explanation and exits.
