Library
The roken library (libroken, -lroken)
Overview
These functions do the same as the ones without the “e” prefix, but if there is an error they will print a message with errx(3), and exit. For eread and ewrite this is also true for partial data.
This is useful in applications when there is no need for a more advanced failure mode.
