UTIMES(2)                            BSD                             UTIMES(2)



NAME
     utimes - set file times

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/time.h>

     utimes(file, tvp)
     char *file;
     struct timeval tvp[2];

DESCRIPTION
     The utimes call uses the "accessed" and "updated" times in that order
     from the tvp vector to set the corresponding recorded times for file.

     The caller must be the owner of the file or the super-user.  The "inode-
     changed" time of the file is set to the current time.

ERRORS
     utime will fail if one or more of the following are true:

     [ENOTDIR]        A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

     [ENAMETOOLONG]   A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
                      entire pathname exceeded 1023 characters.

     [ENOENT]         The named file does not exist.

     [ELOOP]          Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
                      the pathname.

     [EPERM]          The process is not super-user and not the owner of the
                      file.

     [EACCES]         Search permission is denied for a component of the path
                      prefix.

     [EROFS]          The file system containing the file is mounted read-
                      only.

     [EFAULT]         file or tvp points outside the process' allocated
                      address space.

     [EIO]            An I/O error occurred while reading or writing the
                      affected inode.

     stat(2)

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, a value
     of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

NOTES
     Under other implementations, utimes fails if the following is true:

     [EINVAL]         The pathname contains a character with the high-order
                      bit set.
