+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR futimes ()
+changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
+.BR utimes (2),
+with the difference that the file whose timestamps are to be changed
+is specified via a file descriptor,
+.IR fd ,
+rather than via a pathname.
+.P
+.BR lutimes ()
+changes the access and modification times of a file in the same way as
+.BR utimes (2),
+with the difference that if
+.I filename
+refers to a symbolic link, then the link is not dereferenced:
+instead, the timestamps of the symbolic link are changed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned.
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+Errors are as for
+.BR utimes (2),
+with the following additions for
+.BR futimes ():
+.TP
+.B EBADF
+.I fd
+is not a valid file descriptor.

+The following additional error may occur for
