SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getrlimit.h>
void explain_getrlimit_or_die(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_getrlimit_or_die(resource, rlim);
- resource

The resource, exactly as to be passed to the getrlimit(2) system call.
- rlim
-

- Returns:

This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
