+.Sh NAME
+.Nm elftc_set_timestamps
+.Nd set file timestamps
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libelftc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In libelftc.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn elftc_set_timestamps "const char *filename" "struct stat *sb"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn elftc_set_timestamps
+function is used to set the access and modified time stamps on a file
+based on the contents of a
+.Vt "struct stat"
+descriptor.
+.Pp
+Argument
+.Ar filename
+names an existing file in the file system.
+.Pp
+Argument
+.Ar sb
+points to structure of type
+.Vt "struct stat"
+populated by a prior call to
+.Xr fstat 2
+or
+.Xr stat 2 .
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+This function will invoke the high-resolution
+.Xr utimes 2
+system call if the underlying operating system supports it.
+On operating systems lacking support for
+.Xr utimes 2 ,
+the function will use lower resolution
+.Xr utime 2
+system call.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To set the access and modified times for a new file to those of an
+existing file, use:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct stat sb;
+const char *existing_filename, *new_filename;
+
+if (stat(existing_filename, &sb) < 0)
+	err(EXIT_FAILURE, "stat failed");
+
+if (elftc_set_timestamps(new_filename, &sb) < 0)
+	err(EXIT_FAILURE, "timestamps could not be set");
