     If the times are not specified (the timep argument is NULL) the caller
     must be the owner of the file, have permission to write the file, or be
     the super-user.

ERRORS
     The utime() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors speci-
     fied for the library function utimes(2).

SEE ALSO
