Change access time of files via c-program code

10gecko66 · 01-15-2004, 03:43 AM

using fstat() or stat() one can easily obtain information about files (in the structure stat).

How is it possible to change (!) these attributes, especially the time of last access (st_atime)?

Any help would be very helpfull.
