explain_setgrent_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_setgrent_or_die function is used to call the setgrent(3) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_setgrent(3) function, and then the
process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_setgrent_on_error function is used to call the setgrent(3) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_setgrent(3) function, but still returns
to the caller.
Example
The explain_setgrent_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
example:
explain_setgrent_or_die();
