FpUtime

Set access and modification times of a file (touch).

Declaration

Source position: line 0

Description

FpUtime sets the access and modification times of the file specified in Path. the times record contains 2 fields, actime, and modtime, both of type time_t (commonly a longint). They should be filled with an epoch-like time, specifying, respectively, the last access time, and the last modification time. For some filesystem (most notably, FAT), these times are the same.

The function returns zero on success, a nonzero return value indicates failure.

Errors

Extended error information can be retrieved using fpGetErrno.

sys_eaccess

One of the directories in Path has no search (=execute) permission.

sys_enoent

A directory entry in Path does not exist or is a symbolic link pointing to a non-existent directory.

Other errors may occur, but aren't documented.
