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
explain_utime(3), and then the process terminates by
calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
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 explanation and exits.
