ELFTC_SET_TIMESTAMPS(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME
elftc_set_timestamps - set file timestamps
LIBRARY
library "libelftc"
SYNOPSIS
#include <libelftc.h>
int
elftc_set_timestamps(const char *filename, struct stat *sb);
DESCRIPTION
The elftc_set_timestamps() function is used to set the access and
modified time stamps on a file based on the contents of a struct stat
descriptor.
Argument filename names an existing file in the file system.
Argument sb points to structure of type struct stat populated by a prior
call to fstat(2) or stat(2).
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
This function will invoke the high-resolution utimes(2) system call if
the underlying operating system supports it. On operating systems
lacking support for utimes(2), the function will use lower resolution
utime(2) system call.
EXAMPLES
To set the access and modified times for a new file to those of an
existing file, use:
struct stat sb;
const char *existing_filename, *new_filename;
if (stat(existing_filename, &sb) < 0)
err(EXIT_FAILURE, "stat failed");
if (elftc_set_timestamps(new_filename, &sb) < 0)
err(EXIT_FAILURE, "timestamps could not be set");
