NAME

       explain_utime_or_die - change file times and report errors

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.
