NAME
explain_gettimeofday_or_die - get time and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/gettimeofday.h>
void explain_gettimeofday_or_die(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone
*tz);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_gettimeofday_or_die function is used to call the
gettimeofday(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed
to stderr, obtained from explain_gettimeofday(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_gettimeofday_or_die(tv, tz);
tv The tv, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system
call.
tz The tz, exactly as to be passed to the gettimeofday(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
