explain_fu...sat_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_fu...sat_or_die(3)

NAME
       explain_futimesat_or_die	- change timestamps of a file	 relative to a
       directory  and report errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<libexplain/futimesat.h>
       void  explain_futimesat_or_die(int  fildes, const char *pathname, const
       struct timeval *data);
       int explain_futimesat_on_error(int fildes, const	char *pathname,	 const
       struct timeval *data);

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_futimesat_or_die function is used to call the futimesat(2)
       system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  ob-
       tained  from  the  explain_futimesat(3)	function, and then the process
       terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The explain_futimesat_on_error function is used	to  call  the  futime-
       sat(2)  system  call.  On  failure  an  explanation  will be printed to
       stderr, obtained	from the explain_futimesat(3) function,	but still  re-
       turns to	the caller.

       fildes  The  fildes, exactly as to be passed to the futimesat(2)	system
	       call.

       pathname
	       The pathname, exactly as	to be passed to	the futimesat(2)  sys-
	       tem call.

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

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

       The explain_futimesat_on_error function always returns the value	return
       by the wrapped futimesat(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
       The explain_futimesat_or_die function is	intended to be used in a fash-
       ion similar to the following example:
	      explain_futimesat_or_die(fildes, pathname, data);

SEE ALSO
       futimesat(2)
	       change timestamps of a file relative to a directory

       explain_futimesat(3)
	       explain futimesat(2) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
