36  * Backwards compatible utime.
37  *
38  * The System V system call allows any user with write permission
39  * on a file to set the accessed and modified times to the current
40  * time; they specify this by passing a null pointer to "utime".
41  * This is done to simulate reading one byte from a file and
42  * overwriting that byte with itself, which is the technique used
43  * by older versions of the "touch" command.  The advantage of this
44  * hack in the system call is that it works correctly even if the file
45  * is zero-length.
46  *
47  * The BSD system call never allowed a null pointer so there should
48  * be no compatibility problem there.
