+ * Name: utime
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *   The utime() system call changes the access and modification times of
+ *   the inode specified by path to the actime and modtime fields of times
+ *   respectively.
+ *   If times is NULL, then the access and modification times of the file
+ *   are set to the current time.
+ *
+ * Input Parameters:
+ *   path  - Specifies the file to be modified
+ *   times - Specifies the time value to set
+ *
+ * Returned Value:
+ *   Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall
+ *   be returned and errno shall be set to indicate the error, and the file
+ *   times shall not be affected.
