Function Documentation

void explain_tcsetattr_or_die	(	int	fildes,
		int	options,
		const struct termios *	data
	)

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

Parameters:

fildes	The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.
options	The options, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.
data	The data, exactly as to be passed to the tcsetattr(3) system call.

Returns:

This function only returns on success, see tcsetattr(3) 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:

 explain_tcsetattr_or_die(fildes, options, data);
