(char* file, int line, int err, char* format, ...)

Log a fatal system error.

Documentation

Log a fatal system error.

Logs and audits a fatal system error, along with its standard UNIX explanation. The user is notified and the current process is terminated. Don't worry about the unusual nature of most of the arguments. They are filled in automatically by the helper macro, logerror. In fact, you must not use this function directly.

Parameters:

file - the source filename where the error occurred.
line - the line number executing at the time of the error.
err - the value of errno.
format - a printf()-like format string, followed by any necessary arguments, as required by the format specifiers.
