NAME
explain_utimensat_or_die - change file timestamps and report errorsSYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/utimensat.h>void explain_utimensat_or_die(int fildes, const char *pathname,
const struct timespec *data, int flags);
int explain_utimensat_on_error(int fildes, const char *pathname, const struct
timespec *data, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_utimensat_or_die function is used to call the utimensat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_utimensat(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).The explain_utimensat_on_error function is used to call the utimensat(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_utimensat(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
- fildes
- The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.
- pathname
- The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.
- data
- The data, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.
- flags
- The flags, exactly as to be passed to the utimensat(2) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_utimensat_or_die function only returns on success, see utimensat(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.The explain_utimensat_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped utimensat(2) system call.
EXAMPLE
The explain_utimensat_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:explain_utimensat_or_die(fildes, pathname, data, flags);
