explain_fchown_or_die − change ownership of a file and report errors
#include <libexplain/fchown.h>
void explain_fchown_or_die(int fildes, int owner, int group);
The explain_fchown_or_die function is used to call the fchown(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fchown(3), 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_fchown_or_die(fildes, owner, group);
fildes |
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call. |
||
owner |
The owner, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call. |
||
group |
The group, exactly as to be passed to the fchown(2) system call. |
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
