explain_setresuid_or_die - set r/e/s user ID and report errors

Description

       The  explain_setresuid_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  setresuid(2) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the  explain_setresuid(3)  function,  and  then  the
       process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_setresuid_on_error  function  is  used  to  call the setresuid(2) system call. On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_setresuid(3) function, but still returns
       to the caller.

       ruid    The ruid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

       euid    The euid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

       suid    The suid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

Example

       The explain_setresuid_or_die function is intended to be used  in  a  fashion  similar  to  the  following
       example:
              explain_setresuid_or_die(ruid, euid, suid);
