explain_utimes_or_die(3)    Library Functions Manual	explain_utimes_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_utimes_or_die  - change file access and modify times and report er-
     rors

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 sim-
     ilar to the following example:
	    explain_utimes_or_die(pathname, data);

SEE ALSO

	     change file last access and modification times
