UTIMES(2) COMMAND REFERENCE UTIMES(2)
NAME
utimes - set file times
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
utimes(path, tvp)
char *path;
struct timeval tvp[2];
DESCRIPTION
The utimes call uses the values in the tvp array to set the
"accessed" and "modified" times (in that order) for the file
named by path. The timeval structure is defined in
<sys/time.h> as:
struct timeval {
long tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_usec; /* and microseconds */
};
The caller must be the owner of the file or the super-user.
The "inode-changed" time of the file is set to the current
time.
DIAGNOSTICS
Utimes will fail if one or more of the following are true:
[ENOASCII]
The pathname contains a character with the high-order
bit set.
[ENAMETOOLONG]
The pathname is too long.
[ENOENT]
The named file does not exist.
[ENOTDIR]
A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
[EIO]
An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
the file system.
[EACCES]
A component of the path prefix denies search permission.
If the file is located on a remote host, this error code
will be returned if the local host name and local user
name does not appear in /usr/lib/dfs/access on the
remote machine. See access(dfs)(5n).

[EPERM]

file.
[EROFS]
The file system containing the file is mounted read-
only.
[EFAULT]
File or tvp points outside the process's allocated
address space.
[ELOOP]
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
the pathname.
[EDFSNOSUCHHOST]
The pathname referenced a remote host, but when we
broadcast a request for its address, no host responded.

Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
indicate the error.
