utime.h File Reference

This interface is obsoleted by utimes.

The utime function sets the access and modification times of the named file from the actime and modtime fields of the struct utimbuf pointed at by filetimes.

If the times are specified (the timep argument is non- NULL) the caller must be the owner of the file or be the super-user.

If the times are not specified (the timep argument is NULL) the caller must be the owner of the file, have permission to write the file, or be the super-user.

  Preconditions:  Example.txt file should exist in the working directory

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  struct utimbuf Time ;
  if(utime("Example.txt" , &Time;) < 0 ) 
  {
     printf("Utime call failed") ;
     return -1 ;
  }
  printf("Utime call succeded") ;
  return 0 ;
}

Utime call succeded

Limitations:

KErrNotReady of Symbian error code is mapped to ENOENT, which typically means drive not found or filesystem not mounted on the drive.
