UTIME(3C)																 UTIME(3C)

NAME

       utime - set file times

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>

       utime(file, timep)
       char *file;
       time_t timep[2];

DESCRIPTION

       This interface is obsoleted by utimes(2).

       The  utime  call  uses  the  `accessed' and `updated' times in that order from the timep vector to set the corresponding recorded times for
       file.

       The caller must be the owner of the file or the super-user.  The `inode-changed' time of the file is set to the current time.

NAME

       utime, utimes - change access and/or modification times of an inode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <utime.h>

       int utime(const char *filename, struct utimbuf *buf);

       #include <sys/time.h>

       int utimes(char *filename, struct timeval *tvp);

DESCRIPTION

       utime  changes  the  access and modification times of the inode specified by filename to the actime and modtime fields of buf respectively.
       If buf is NULL, then the access and modification times of the file are set to the current time.	The utimbuf structure is:

	      struct utimbuf {
		      time_t actime;  /* access time */
		      time_t modtime; /* modification time */
	      };

       In the Linux DLL 4.4.1 libraries, utimes is just a wrapper for utime: tvp[0].tv_sec is actime, and tvp[1].tv_sec is modtime.   The  timeval
       structure is:

	      struct timeval {
		      long    tv_sec;	      /* seconds */
		      long    tv_usec;	      /* microseconds */
	      };

RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       Other errors may occur.

       EACCES Permission to write the file is denied.

       ENOENT filename does not exist.
