explain_utime_or_die(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   explain_utime_or_die(3)

NAME

       explain_utime_or_die - change file times and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/utime.h>
       void explain_utime_or_die(const char *pathname, const struct utimbuf *times);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_utime_or_die function is used to call the utime(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
       from explain_utime(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      explain_utime_or_die(pathname, times);

       pathname
	       The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the utime(2) system call.

       times   The times, exactly as to be passed to the utime(2) system call.

       Returns:
	       This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

SEE ALSO

       utime(2)
	       change file last access and modification times

       explain_utime(3)
	       explain utime(2) errors
