NAME

       explain_getcwd_or_die - get current working directory and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/getcwd.h>
       void explain_getcwd_or_die(char *buf, size_t size);

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.
