<h2>utime()--Set File Access and Modification Times</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 60%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;utime.h&gt;
int utime(const char <em>*path</em>, const struct utimbuf <em>*times</em>);
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0LLIB1<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Conditional; see <a href="#USAGE_NOTES">Usage Notes</a>.<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>utime()</strong> function sets the access and modification times
of <em>path</em> to the values in the <samp>utimbuf</samp> structure. If <em>
times</em> is a NULL pointer, the access and modification times are set to the
current time. If the named file is a symbolic link, <strong>utime()</strong>
resolves the symbolic link.</p>
<p>If the file is checked out by another user (someone other than the user
profile of the current job), <strong>utime()</strong> fails with the [EBUSY]
error.</p>
<p>When <strong>utime()</strong> completes successfully, it marks the change
time of the file to be updated.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>path</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to the null-terminated path name of the file for which
the times should be changed.
<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID (coded character
set identifier) currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID of the job is
65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default CCSID of the
job.</p>
<p>See <a href="utimeu.htm">QlgUtime()--Set File Access and Modification Times
(using NLS-enabled path name)</a> for a description and an example of supplying
the <em>path</em> in any CCSID.</p>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>times</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a structure <samp>utimbuf</samp>, which contains the
times to be updated.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The structure <samp>utimbuf</samp> is defined according to the POSIX.1
definition as follows:</p>
<pre>
struct utimbuf {
time_t actime; /* The new access time */
time_t modtime; /* The new modification time */
}
</pre>
<p>The <samp>time_t</samp> type gives the number of seconds since the <em>
Epoch</em>.</p>

<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl compact>
<dt><em>0</em></dt>
<dd><strong>utime()</strong> was successful. The file access and modification
times are changed.</dd>
<dt><em>-1</em></dt>
<dd><strong>utime()</strong> was not successful. The file times are not
changed. The <em>errno</em> global variable is set to indicate the error.</dd>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>utime()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em> usually
indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, <em>errno</em>
could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>

determine the time between refresh operations of local data.) Access to a
