9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
13 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
16 This function is missing on some platforms:
17 Minix 3.1.8, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
19 The declaration of this function lacks @code{const} in the second argument
23 On some platforms, this function mis-handles trailing slash:
24 FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
26 This function cannot set full timestamp resolution. In particular,
27 some platforms incorrectly round rather than truncate. Use
28 @code{utimensat(AT_FDCWD,file,times,0)}, or the gnulib module utimens,
31 On some platforms, @code{utimes (file, NULL)} fails to set the
32 file's timestamp to the current time:
35 On some platforms, @code{utimes} failed on read-only files when
36 @code{utime} worked fine.
40 Extension: Gnulib provides a module @samp{utimens} that works around these
41 problems and allows to set the time with nanosecond resolution (as far as
42 supported by the file system).
