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.

       Errors are as for utimes(2), with the following additions for futimes():

       EBADFfd 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, lutimes - change file timestamps

lutimes() is implemented using the utimensat(2) system call.

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
