Function Documentation

int explain_fputc_on_error	(	int	c,
		FILE *	fp
	)

The explain_fputc_on_error function is used to call the fputc(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_fputc(3) function.

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

 if (explain_fputc_on_error(c, fp) == EOF)
 {
     ...cope with error
     ...no need to print error message
 }

Parameters:

c	The c, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.
fp	The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.

Returns:

The value returned by the wrapped fputc(3) system call.

void explain_fputc_or_die	(	int	c,
		FILE *	fp

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

 explain_fputc_or_die(c, fp);

Parameters:

c	The c, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.
fp	The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.

This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.
