NAME
utimes - set file times
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
utimes(file, tvp)
const char *file;
struct timeval tvp[2];
DESCRIPTION
The utimes call uses the "accessed" and
"updated" times in that
order from the tvp 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.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
Otherwise, a
value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
Utimes will fail if one or more of the following are
true:
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
[EINVAL] The pathname contains a
character with the high-
order bit set.
[ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a
pathname exceeded 255 characters,
or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links
were encountered in
translating the pathname.
[EPERM] The process is not
super-user and not the owner of
the file.
[EACCES] Search permission is
denied for a component of the
path prefix.
[EROFS] The file system
containing the file is mounted
read-only.
[EFAULT] File or tvp points
outside the process’s allocated
address space.
[EIO] An I/O error occurred
while reading or writing the
affected inode.
