Function Documentation

void explain_getrlimit_or_die	(	int	resource,
		struct rlimit *	rlim
	)

The explain_getrlimit_or_die function is used to call the getrlimit(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_getrlimit(3) function, 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_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);

Parameters:

resource	The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.
rlim	The rlim, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.

Returns:

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