  function returns home_directory() + "/."  + program_name.  Note that
  this path is NOT created by this function, nor is the writability of

  This function closes all Curses windows, prints the name of the program

  Returns:    (does not return)

  This function closes all Curses windows, prints the name of the
  program, the supplied error message (using format and following
  arguments as if passed to printf()), then the string corresponding to
  errno to stderr.  It then exits with error code EXIT_FAILURE.

  The format supplied does NOT need to supply the program name, any

  The buffer should contain a C-style string terminated by '\0'.  The
