Gnulib module: futimens
|

|

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

@itemize

@item
|
|
This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
|
|
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9,
|
|
Interix 3.5, BeOS.
|
|
However, the replacement function may end up truncating timestamps to
|
|
less resolution than supported by the file system.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function returns a bogus value instead of failing with
|
|
@code{ENOSYS} on some platforms:
|
|
Linux kernel 2.6.21.
|
|
@item
|
|
When using @code{UTIME_OMIT} or @code{UTIME_NOW}, some systems require
|
|
the @code{tv_sec} argument to be 0, and don't necessarily handle all
|
|
file permissions in the manner required by POSIX:
|
|
Linux kernel 2.6.25.
|
|
@item
|
|
When using @code{UTIME_OMIT} for the modification time, but specifying
|
|
an access time, some systems fail to update the change time:
|
|
Linux kernel 2.6.32.
|
|
@item
|
|
Passing @code{AT_FDCWD} as the fd argument does not properly fail with
|
|
@code{EBADF} on some systems:
|
|
glibc 2.11, Solaris 11.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
Some platforms lack the ability to change the timestamps of a file
|
|
descriptor, so the replacement can fail with @code{ENOSYS}; the gnulib
|
|
module @samp{utimens} provides a more reliable interface @code{fdutimens}.
|
|
@item
|
|
The mere act of using @code{stat} modifies the access time of
|
|
directories on some platforms, so @code{utimensat} can only
|
|
effectively change directory modification time:
|
|
Cygwin 1.5.x.
