From b875036e5a2ab569a2123abe9ebfe25258227951 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Rast Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:58:44 +0200 Subject: Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die() There are many calls to die() that do, or should, report strerror(errno) to indicate how the syscall they guard failed. Introduce a small helper function for this case. Note: - POSIX says vsnprintf can modify errno in some unlikely cases, so we have to use errno early. - We take some care to pass the original format to die_routine(), in case someone wants to call die_errno() with custom format characters.
