/*
 *	@(#)err	5.1 (Berkeley) %G%
 *
 * Error routines can be tricky.  The following works in most cases,
 * and can be easily adapted per program.  It allows both:
 *
 *	if ((fp = fopen(file, "r")) == NULL)
 *		err("%s: %s", file, strerror(errno));
 * and:
 *	if ((p = malloc(sizeof(int))) == NULL)
 *		err("%s", strerror(errno));
 *
 * Never use perror(3).
