Function Documentation

int explain_eventfd_or_die	(	unsigned int	initval,
		int	flags
	)

The explain_eventfd_or_die function is used to call the eventfd(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_eventfd(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

Parameters:

initval	The initval, exactly as to be passed to the eventfd(2) system call.
flags	The flags, exactly as to be passed to the eventfd(2) system call.

Returns:

This function only returns on success, see eventfd(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

Example:

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

 int result = explain_eventfd_or_die(initval, flags);
