UTIMES(2) COMMAND REFERENCE UTIMES(2)
NAME
utimes - set file times
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
utimes(path, tvp)
char *path;
struct timeval tvp[2];
DESCRIPTION
The utimes call uses the values in the tvp array to set the
"accessed" and "modified" times (in that order) for the file
named by path. The timeval structure is defined in
<sys/time.h> as:
struct timeval {
long tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_usec; /* and microseconds */
};
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.
DIAGNOSTICS
Utimes will fail if one or more of the following are true:
[ENOASCII] The pathname contains a character with the
high-order bit set.
[ENAMETOOLONG] The pathname is too long.
[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a
directory.
[EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or
writing to the file system.
[EACCES] A component of the path prefix denies search
permission.
[EPERM] The process is not super-user and not the
owner of the file.
[EROFS] The file system containing the file is
mounted read-only.
[EFAULT] File or tvp points outside the process's
allocated address space.
