NAME
explain_select_or_die - blah blah and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/select.h>
void explain_select_or_die(int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds,
fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_select_or_die function is used to call the select(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_select(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_select_or_die(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout);
nfds The nfds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system call.
readfds The readfds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system
call.
writefds
The writefds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system
call.
exceptfds
The exceptfds, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system
call.
timeout The timeout, exactly as to be passed to the select(2) system
call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an
explanation and exits.
