NAME

       explain_futimesat_or_die - change timestamps of a file    relative to a directory  and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/futimesat.h>
       void explain_futimesat_or_die(int fildes, const char *pathname, const struct timeval *data);
       int explain_futimesat_on_error(int fildes, const char *pathname, const struct timeval *data);

DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

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

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

RETURN VALUE

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

       The  explain_futimesat_on_error  function  always  returns  the  value return by the wrapped futimesat(2)
       system call.

EXAMPLE

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