UTIMENSAT(3P)

✨ UTIMENSAT(3P) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual 💖 this page lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual and it's all about utimensat and utimes. buckle up 🎀

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

okay so first things first, real talk:

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

like, it's giving "check your local listings" energy 😭 the Linux version might be built different, so go read the Linux man page if you want the Linux tea. or maybe it's not even implemented on Linux at all. we don't know. vibe check accordingly 🫶

💅 NAME 💅

utimensat, utimes — set file access and modification times ⏰✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <sys/stat.h>

int utimensat(int fd, const char *path, const struct timespec times[2],
    int flag);

#include <sys/time.h>

int utimes(const char *path, const struct timeval times[2]);

like, two whole headers, two whole function signatures, no notes 💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Refer to futimens().

that's it. that's the whole description. iconic honestly. the POSIX girlies said "go read the other page" and honestly? respect 👑
