https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240158 Bug ID: 240158 Summary: utimensat system call (and C API) should allow more than 2 timestamps, to simplify changing birth time Product: Base System Version: 12.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: sean@rogue-research.com The utimensat() man page says: "To set both a birth time and a modification time, two calls are required; the first to set the birth time and the second to set the (presumably newer) modification time. Ideally a new system call will be added that allows the setting of all three times at once." Such a newer system call would indeed simplify changing the birthtime of a file, which currently is rather complicated to edit. I can't find any existing bug for this, so thought I'd create one... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
