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.
