explain_gettimeofday_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_gettimeofday_or_die function is used to call the gettimeofday(2) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);
tv The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.
tz The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
