     #include <libexplain/utimens.h>
     void  explain_utimens_or_die(const  char  *pathname,  const struct timespec

     int explain_utimens_on_error(const char *pathname,  const	struct	timespec
     *data);

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

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

	     call.

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

     not return.

     The explain_utimens_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped utimens(2) system call.
