Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The access and modification times of the file named by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
or referenced by
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
are changed as specified by the argument
|
|
.Fa times .
|
|
The inode-change-time of the file is set to the current time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
specifies a relative path,
|
|
it is relative to the current working directory if
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv AT_FDCWD
|
|
and otherwise relative to the directory associated with the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va tv_nsec
|
|
field of a
|
|
.Vt timespec
|
|
structure
|
|
can be set to the special value
|
|
.Dv UTIME_NOW
|
|
to set the current time, or to
|
|
.Dv UTIME_OMIT
|
|
to leave the time unchanged.
|
|
In either case, the
|
|
.Va tv_sec
|
|
field is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa times
|
|
is
|
|
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
|
|
it is assumed to point to an array of two timespec structures.
|
|
The access time is set to the value of the first element, and the
|
|
modification time is set to the value of the second element.
|
|
For file systems that support file birth (creation) times (such as
|
|
.Dv UFS2 ) ,
|
|
the birth time will be set to the value of the second element
|
|
if the second element is older than the currently set birth time.
|
|
To set both a birth time and a modification time,
|
|
two calls are required; the first to set the birth time
|
|
and the second to set the (presumably newer) modification time.
|
|
Ideally a new system call will be added that allows the setting
|
|
of all three times at once.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa times
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
this is equivalent to passing
|
|
a pointer to an array of two timespec structures
|
|
with both
|
|
.Va tv_nsec
|
|
fields set to
|
|
.Dv UTIME_NOW .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Va tv_nsec
|
|
fields are
|
|
.Dv UTIME_OMIT ,
|
|
the timestamps remain unchanged and
|
|
no permissions are needed for the file itself,
|
|
although search permissions may be required for the path prefix.
|
|
The call may or may not succeed if the named file does not exist.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Va tv_nsec
|
|
fields are
|
|
.Dv UTIME_NOW ,
|
|
the caller must be the owner of the file, have permission to
|
|
write the file, or be the super-user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For all other values of the timestamps,
|
|
the caller must be the owner of the file or be the super-user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The values for the
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
argument of the
|
|
.Fn utimensat
|
|
system call
|
|
are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive OR of flags from the following list,
|
|
defined in
|
|
.In fcntl.h :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dv AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
names a symbolic link, the symbolic link's times are changed.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Fn utimensat
|
|
changes the times of the file referenced by the symbolic link.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
If the running kernel does not support this system call,
|
|
a wrapper emulates it using
|
|
.Xr fstatat 2 ,
|
|
.Xr futimesat 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr lutimes 2 .
|
|
As a result, timestamps will be rounded down to the nearest microsecond,
|
|
.Dv UTIME_OMIT
|
|
is not atomic and
|
|
.Dv AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|
|
is not available with a path relative to a file descriptor.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
