The following reply was made to PR kern/181459; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@stack.nl> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, yuri@tsoft.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/181459: [patch] Addition of 'futimensat' call allowing to set file time with nanosecond precision Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 01:04:18 +0200 This patch does not add the POSIX utimensat() and futimens() calls, but a non-standard function. This new function only solves one of the inexcusable problems with futimesat() (that it is limited to microsecond precision) but not that it cannot set times on symlinks. You can start with http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2012-February/012410.html I wrote a man page http://www.stack.nl/~jilles/unix/utimensat.2 I think this is close to done; it needs to be updated and re-tested. -- Jilles Tjoelker
