explain_mkdir_or_die(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual explain_mkdir_or_die(3)

explain_mkdir_or_die - create a directory and report errors

#include <libexplain/mkdir.h>

void explain_mkdir_or_die(const char *pathname);

The explain_mkdir_or_die function is used to call the mkdir(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_mkdir(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_mkdir_or_die(pathname);
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the mkdir(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

mkdir(2)
create a directory
explain_mkdir(3)
explain mkdir(2) errors
exit(2)
terminate the calling process
