NAME

explain_rename_or_die - change the name of a file and report errors

SYNOPSIS

#include <libexplain/rename.h>

void explain_rename_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);

DESCRIPTION

The explain_rename_or_die function is used to call the rename(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_rename(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_rename_or_die(oldpath, newpath);
oldpath
The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the rename(2) system call.
newpath
The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the rename(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
