The &func function uses system call 0x57 to set the date and time that
the file associated with
.arg &fd
was last modified.
The date consists of the year, month and day packed into 16 bits as
follows:
.begnote $compact $setptnt 10
.termhd1 Bits
.termhd2 Meaning
.note bits 0-4
Day (1-31)
.note bits 5-8
Month (1-12)
.note bits 9-15
Year (0-119 representing 1980-2099)
.endnote
.np
The time consists of the hour, minute and seconds/2 packed into 16
bits as follows:
.begnote $compact $setptnt 10
.termhd1 Bits
.termhd2 Meaning
.note bits 0-4
Seconds/2 (0-29)
.note bits 5-10
Minutes (0-59)
.note bits 11-15
Hours (0-23)
.endnote
.desc end
.return begin
The &func function returns zero if successful.
Otherwise, it returns an OS error code and sets
.kw errno
accordingly.
