explain_lutimes_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_lutimes_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_lutimes_or_die - modify file timestamps and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/lutimes.h>
     void  explain_lutimes_or_die(const  char  *pathname,  const  struct timeval
     *data);
     int explain_lutimes_on_error(const char  *pathname,  const  struct  timeval
     *data);

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

     The explain_lutimes_on_error function is used to call the lutimes(3) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_lutimes(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     pathname
	     The pathname, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  lutimes(3)  system
	     call.

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

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

     The explain_lutimes_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped lutimes(3) system call.

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