set modification date of symlink

Subject: set modification date of symlink

I am trying to set the modification date of a symbolic link.

It seems that [NSFileManager changeFileAttributes:atPath:] traverses through symbolic links (although this is NOT mentioned in the documentation).

man symlink(7) says: "The [...] modification time of an existing symbolic link can be changed by means of the lutimes(2) system call [...]." But there is no man lutimes(2) and lutimes() is NOT defined in <sys/ time.h>. Using lutimes() creates an undefined symbol error while linking.

So: How to set the modification date of symlink?

Gerriet.
