NAME

SetFileDate: Sets the modification date for a file or dir (V36)

SYNOPSIS

success = SetFileDate(name, date)
D0 D1 D2

BOOL SetFileDate(STRPTR, struct DateStamp *)

FUNCTION

Sets the file date for a file or directory.

INPUTS

name: Name of object
date: New modification date

RESULT

success: Success/failure indication

NOTES

For the old File System (V34) and the Fast File System (V36 and beyond), the date of the root directory cannot be set. Other file systems may not support setting the date for all files/directories.

BUGS

It is file system dependent whether SetFileDate() on an object that is exclusively locked proceeds without error. The FFS refuses such an attempt, the RAM-Handler does not.
