explain_creat_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_creat_or_die function is used to call the creat(2) system call. On failure an explanation
will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_creat(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_creat_or_die(pathname, mode);
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the creat(2) system call.
mode The mode, exactly as to be passed to the creat(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
