lutimes

LUTIMES(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						LUTIMES(3)

NAME

     lutimes -- set file access and modification times of symlink

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/time.h>

     int
     lutimes(const char *path, struct timeval times[2]);

DESCRIPTION

     The access and modification times of the file named by path are changed as specified by the argument times, even if path specifies a symbolic
     link (for utimes(2) the times of the file referenced by the symbolic link are changed).

     If times is NULL, the access and modification times are set to the current time.  The caller must be the owner of the file, have permission
     to write the file, or be the super-user.

     If times is non-NULL, it is assumed to point to an array of two timeval structures.  The access time is set to the value of the first ele-
     ment, and the modification time is set to the value of the second element.  The caller must be the owner of the file or be the super-user.

     In either case, the inode-change-time of the file is set to the current time.

NOTE

     Instead of being a system call, lutimes() is emulated using setattrlist(2).  Not all file systems support setattrlist(2).

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The lutimes() call may return the same errors as utimes(2) and setattrlist(2).

     utimes(2), setattrlist(2)
