The explain_stime_on_error function is used to call the stime(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_stime(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

The t, exactly as to be passed to the stime(2) system call.

The explain_stime_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped stime(2) system call.
