NAME

       explain_utimensat_or_die - change file timestamps and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/utimensat.h>
       void  explain_utimensat_or_die(int  fildes,  const  char  *pathname, const struct timespec
       *data, int flags);
       int explain_utimensat_on_error(int fildes, const char  *pathname,  const  struct  timespec
       *data, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_utimensat_or_die  function  is  used to call the utimensat(2) system call. On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from  the  explain_utimensat(3)
       function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_utimensat_on_error  function is used to call the utimensat(2) system call. On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from  the  explain_utimensat(3)
       function, but still returns to the caller.

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

       pathname
               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

       data    The data, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_utimensat_or_die  function only returns on success, see utimensat(2) for more
       information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

       The explain_utimensat_on_error function always returns the value  return  by  the  wrapped
       utimensat(2) system call.

EXAMPLE

       The  explain_utimensat_or_die  function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the
       following example:
              explain_utimensat_or_die(fildes, pathname, data, flags);
