explain_lutimes_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_lutimes_or_die function is used to call the lutimes(3) system call. On failure an explanation
will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_lutimes(3) function, and then the process terminates
by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_lutimes_on_error function is used to call the lutimes(3) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_lutimes(3) function, but still returns
to the caller.
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the lutimes(3) system call.
data The data, exactly as to be passed to the lutimes(3) system call.
Example
The explain_lutimes_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_lutimes_or_die(pathname, data);
