Function set_times_nofollow 

pub fn set_times_nofollow<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    path: P,
    times: FileTimes,
) -> Result<()>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (fs_set_times #147455)

Changes the timestamps of the file or symlink at the specified path.

This function will attempt to set the access and modification times to the times specified. Differ from set_times, if the path refers to a symbolic link, this function will change the timestamps of the symlink itself, not the target file.

Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the utimensat function with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW on Unix platforms, the setattrlist function with FSOPT_NOFOLLOW on Apple platforms, and the SetFileTime function on Windows.

Errors

This function will return an error if the user lacks permission to change timestamps on the target file or symlink. It may also return an error if the OS does not support it.

Examples

#![feature(fs_set_times)]
use std::fs::{self, FileTimes};
use std::time::SystemTime;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let now = SystemTime::now();
    let times = FileTimes::new()
        .set_accessed(now)
        .set_modified(now);
    fs::set_times_nofollow("symlink.txt", times)?;
    Ok(())
}
