explain_getcwd_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_getcwd_or_die function is used to call the getcwd(2) system call. On failure an explanation
will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_getcwd(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_getcwd_or_die(buf, size);
buf The buf, exactly as to be passed to the getcwd(2) system call.
size The size, exactly as to be passed to the getcwd(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
