futimes, lutimes − change file timestamps
Standard C library (libc, −lc)
#include <sys/time.h>
int
futimes(int fd, const struct timeval
tv[2]);
int lutimes(const char *filename, const struct
timeval tv[2]);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
futimes(),
lutimes():
Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
glibc 2.19 and earlier:
_BSD_SOURCE
futimes() changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as utimes(2), with the difference that the file whose timestamps are to be changed is specified via a file descriptor, fd, rather than via a pathname.
lutimes() changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as utimes(2), with the difference that if filename refers to a symbolic link, then the link is not dereferenced: instead, the timestamps of the symbolic link are changed.
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors are as for utimes(2), with the following additions for futimes():
EBADF |
fd is not a valid file descriptor. |
|||
ENOSYS |
The /proc filesystem could not be accessed. |
The following additional error may occur for lutimes():
ENOSYS |
The kernel does not support this call; Linux 2.6.22 or later is required. |

futimes()
glibc 2.3.
lutimes()
glibc 2.6.
lutimes() is implemented using the utimensat(2) system call.
utime(2), utimensat(2), symlink(7)
