Subject: Re: kern/181459: [patch] Addition of &#39;futimensat&#39; call
 allowing to set file time with nanosecond precision
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 01:04:18 +0200

 This patch does not add the POSIX utimensat() and futimens() calls, but
 a non-standard function. This new function only solves one of the
 inexcusable problems with futimesat() (that it is limited to microsecond
 precision) but not that it cannot set times on symlinks.

 I wrote a man page

 I think this is close to done; it needs to be updated and re-tested.
