explain_futimens_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_futimens_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_futimens_or_die - change file timestamps and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/futimens.h>
     void explain_futimens_or_die(int fildes, const struct time_spec *data);
     int explain_futimens_on_error(int fildes, const struct time_spec *data);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_futimens_or_die function is used to call the futimens(3) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_futimens(3) function, and then the process terminates by  call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_futimens_on_error function is used to call the futimens(3) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_futimens(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the futimens(3) system call.

     data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the futimens(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_futimens_or_die function only returns	on  success,  see  futi-
     mens(3)  for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits,
     it does not return.

     The explain_futimens_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped futimens(3) system call.

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

SEE ALSO
