Subject: futimes()?
Date: 1 Feb 2003 17:53:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b1htmi$9r6$1@cesium.transmeta.com> (raw)
In the general vein of avoiding security holes by using file
descriptors when doing repeated operations on the same filesystem
object, I have noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to set
mtime using a file descriptor. Do we need a futimes() syscall?
