futimes()
changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
utimes(2),
with the difference that the file whose timestamps are to be changed
is specified via a file descriptor,
fd,
rather than via a pathname.
lutimes()
changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
utimes(2),
with the difference that if
filename
refers to a symbolic link, then the link is not dereferenced:
instead, the timestamps of the symbolic link are changed.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned.
On error, -1 is returned, and
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
Errors are as for
utimes(2),
with the following additions for
futimes():
EBADF
fd
is not a valid file descriptor.
ENOSYS
The
/proc
file system could not be accessed.
VERSIONS
futimes()
is available since glibc 2.3.
lutimes()
is available since glibc 2.6, and is implemented using the
utimensat(2)
system call, which is supported since kernel 2.6.22.
