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.
