Function Documentation

char* explain_tempnam_or_die	(	const char *	dir,
		const char *	prefix
	)

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

Parameters:

dir	The dir, exactly as to be passed to the tempnam(3) system call.
prefix	The prefix, exactly as to be passed to the tempnam(3) system call.

Returns:

This function only returns on success, see tempnam(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:

 char *result = explain_tempnam_or_die(dir, prefix);
