UTIME(3)               FreeBSD Library Functions Manual               UTIME(3)

NAME
     utime - set file times

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <utime.h>

     int
     utime(const char *file, const struct utimbuf *timep);

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is obsoleted by utimensat(2) because it is not accurate to
     fractions of a second.

     The utime() function sets the access and modification times of the named
     file from the actime and modtime fields of the struct utimbuf pointed at
     by timep.

     If the times are specified (the timep argument is non-NULL) the caller
     must be the owner of the file or be the super-user.

     If the times are not specified (the timep argument is NULL) the caller
     must be the owner of the file, have permission to write the file, or be
     the super-user.

ERRORS
     The utime() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors
     specified for the library function utimes(2).

SEE ALSO
     stat(2), utimensat(2), utimes(2)

STANDARDS
     The utime() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1").
