explain_futimesat_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_futimesat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_futimesat_or_die - change timestamps of a file    relative to a di-
     rectory  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) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     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 futimesat(2)
     system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_futimesat(3) function, but still returns 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)  system
	     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 futime-
     sat(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  fashion
     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
