Function Documentation

int explain_statvfs_on_error	(	const char *	pathname,
		struct statvfs *	data
	)

The explain_statvfs_on_error function is used to call the statvfs(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_statvfs(3) function.

Parameters:

pathname	The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the statvfs(2) system call.
data	The data, exactly as to be passed to the statvfs(2) system call.

Returns:

The value returned by the wrapped statvfs(2) system call.

Example:

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

 if (explain_statvfs_on_error(pathname, data) < 0)
 {
     ...cope with error
     ...no need to print error message
 }
