39.Nm eread ,
40.Nm erealloc ,

43.Nm ewrite
44.Nd exit-on-failure wrapper functions
45.Sh LIBRARY
46The roken library (libroken, -lroken)
47.Sh SYNOPSIS
48.Fd #include <roken.h>
49.Ft "void *"
50.Fn ecalloc "size_t number" "size_t size"
51.Ft "void *"
52.Fn emalloc "size_t sz"
53.Ft ssize_t
54.Fn eread "int fd" "void *buf" "size_t nbytes"
55.Ft "void *"
56.Fn erealloc "void *ptr" "size_t sz"
57.Ft void
58.Fn esetenv "const char *var" "const char *val" "int rewrite"
59.Ft "char *"
60.Fn estrdup "const char *str"
61.Ft ssize_t
62.Fn ewrite "int fd" "const void *buf" "size_t nbytes"
63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64These functions do the same as the ones without the
65.Dq e
66prefix, but if there is an error they will print a message with
67.Xr errx 3 ,
68and exit. For
69.Nm eread
70and
71.Nm ewrite
72this is also true for partial data.
73.Pp
74This is useful in applications when there is no need for a more
75advanced failure mode.
