<P>
<B>futimes</B>(),
<B>lutimes</B>():
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since&nbsp;glibc&nbsp;2.19:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_DEFAULT_SOURCE
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glibc&nbsp;2.19&nbsp;and&nbsp;earlier:

<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>futimes</B>()
changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+utimes">utimes</A></B>(2),
with the difference that the file whose timestamps are to be changed
is specified via a file descriptor,
<I>fd</I>,
rather than via a pathname.
<P>
<B>lutimes</B>()
changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+utimes">utimes</A></B>(2),
with the difference that if
<I>filename</I>
refers to a symbolic link, then the link is not dereferenced:
instead, the timestamps of the symbolic link are changed.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success, zero is returned.
On error, -1 is returned, and
<I>errno</I>
is set appropriately.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
