SYNOPSIS

#include <libexplain/futimes.h>
void explain_futimes_or_die(int fildes, const struct timeval *tv);

DESCRIPTION

The explain_futimes_or_die function is used to call the futimes (3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr , obtained from explain_futimes (3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

explain_futimes_or_die(fildes, tv);

	fildes		The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the futimes (3) system call.
	tv		The tv, exactly as to be passed to the futimes (3) system call.

Returns:

This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
