void explain_getaddrinfo_or_die(const char *node, const char *service,
const struct addrinfo *hints, struct addrinfo **res);
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f[B]explain_getaddrinfo_or_die\fP function is used to
call the \f[I]getaddrinfo\fP(3) system call. On failure, an
explanation will be printed to \f[I]stderr\fP, obtained from
\f[I]explain_getaddrinfo\fP(3), and then the process terminates by
calling \f[CW]exit(EXIT_FAILURE)\fP.
