explain_tmpnam_or_die - create a name for a temporary file and report errors

Description

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

       The explain_tmpnam_on_error function is used to call the tmpnam(3) system call. On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_tmpnam(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

       pathname
               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the tmpnam(3) system call.

Example

       The explain_tmpnam_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              char *result = explain_tmpnam_or_die(pathname);

Name

Return Value

       The  explain_tmpnam_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see tmpnam(3) for more information. On

       The explain_tmpnam_on_error function always returns the value return  by  the  wrapped  tmpnam(3)  system
