NAME

       explain_futimes_or_die - change file timestamps and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/futimes.h>
       void explain_futimes_or_die(int fildes, const struct timeval *tv);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_futimes_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the futimes(3) system call.  On
       failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained  from  explain_futimes(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_futimes_or_die(fildes, tv);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the futimes(3) system call.

       tv      The tv, exactly as to be passed to the futimes(3) system call.

       Returns:
               This  function  only  returns  on  success.  On failure, prints an explanation and
               exits.
