If the times are specified (the timep argument is non-NULL) the caller must be the owner of the file or be the super-user.

If the times are not specified (the timep argument is NULL) the caller must be the owner of the file, have permission to write the file, or be the super-user.

The utime() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library function utimes(2).
