explain_utime_or_die(3)     Library Functions Manual	 explain_utime_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_utime_or_die - change file times and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/utime.h>
     void   explain_utime_or_die(const	char  *pathname,  const  struct  utimbuf
     *times);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_utime_or_die function is used to call the utime(2) system call.
     On failure an explanation will be printed	to  stderr,  obtained  from  ex-
     plain_utime(3),  and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAIL-
     URE).

     This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the  following
     example:
	    explain_utime_or_die(pathname, times);

     pathname
	     The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the utime(2) system call.

     times   The times, exactly as to be passed to the utime(2) system call.

     Returns:
	     This  function  only returns on success.  On failure, prints an ex-
	     planation and exits.

SEE ALSO

	     change file last access and modification times
