explain_utimensat_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_utimensat_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_utimensat_or_die - change file timestamps and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/utimensat.h>
     void  explain_utimensat_or_die(int  fildes,  const  char  *pathname,  const
     struct timespec *data, int flags);
     int explain_utimensat_on_error(int  fildes,  const  char  *pathname,  const
     struct timespec *data, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_utimensat_or_die function is used to call the utimensat(2) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_utimensat(3) function, and then the process terminates  by
     calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The  explain_utimensat_on_error  function	is used to call the utimensat(2)
     system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_utimensat(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     fildes  The  fildes,  exactly  as	to  be passed to the utimensat(2) system
	     call.

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

     data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

     flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The  explain_utimensat_or_die function only returns on success, see utimen-
     sat(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation  and  exits,
     it does not return.

     The  explain_utimensat_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped utimensat(2) system call.

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

SEE ALSO
     utimensat(2)
	     change file timestamps with nanosecond precision

     explain_utimensat(3)
	     explain utimensat(2) errors

     exit(2)
