NAME
       explain_utimes_or_die - change file access and modify times and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/utimes.h>
       void explain_utimes_or_die(const char *pathname, const struct timeval *data);
       int explain_utimes_on_error(const char *pathname, const struct timeval *data);

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

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

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

       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the utimes(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
       The  explain_utimes_or_die  function  only  returns  on	success, see utimes(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
       exits, it does not return.

       The explain_utimes_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped utimes(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
       The explain_utimes_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      explain_utimes_or_die(pathname, data);

SEE ALSO
       utimes(2)
	       change file last access and modification times

       explain_utimes(3)
	       explain utimes(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
