- Subject: utime()
- Date: Wed, 27 Jan 93 13:36:27 MET DST
-
- Question: how can I set access time and modification time indepently
- (assuming that I have a file system that knows about these different time
- stamps)?
-
- I can't find a system function for that. I've verified the utime()-Binding
- in the MiNT library, and -- sure enough -- it uses Fdatime().
-
- Proposal: let's define a new opcode for Fcntl that basically implements
- the POSIX utime() function. Advantages: no need for changes in the kernel.
-
- The library implementation for utime() could then do something like that:
-
- - setup the utimbuf struct
- - if (MiNT_is_running): try the new Fcntl (check return for EINVFN)
- - otherwise use Fdatime().
-
- Comments?
