futimesat − change timestamps of a file relative to a directory file descriptor
#include <fcntl.h> /* Definition of AT_* constants */
int
futimesat(int dirfd, const char
*pathname,
const struct timeval times[2]);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
futimesat():
Since glibc 2.10:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
Before glibc 2.10:
_ATFILE_SOURCE
This system call is obsolete. Use utimensat(2) instead.
The futimesat() system call operates in exactly the same way as utimes(2), except for the differences described in this manual page.
If the pathname given in pathname is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor dirfd (rather than relative to the current working directory of the calling process, as is done by utimes(2) for a relative pathname).
If pathname is relative and dirfd is the special value AT_FDCWD, then pathname is interpreted relative to the current working directory of the calling process (like utimes(2)).
If pathname is absolute, then dirfd is ignored.
On success, futimesat() returns a 0. On error, −1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The same errors that occur for utimes(2) can also occur for futimesat(). The following additional errors can occur for futimesat():
EBADF |
dirfd is not a valid file descriptor. |
ENOTDIR
pathname is relative and dirfd is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
futimesat() was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16.
This system call is nonstandard. It was implemented from a specification that was proposed for POSIX.1, but that specification was replaced by the one for utimensat(2).
A similar system call exists on Solaris.
Glibc
Notes
If pathname is NULL, then the glibc
futimesat() wrapper function updates the times for
the file referred to by dirfd.
stat(2), utimensat(2), utimes(2), futimes(3), path_resolution(7)
