Summary

Sets the directory's last-write time stamp.

Pascal

 function SetDirLastWrite(const DirName: string; const DateTime: TDateTime): Boolean;

Parameters

Parameters	Description
const DirName: string	The name of the directory for which to set the time of last write.
const DateTime: TDateTime	The date and time to set the file's last write stamp to. You must supply the UTC based date and time. To convert from a local date and time use the LocalDateTimeToDateTime function from JclDateTime.

Return Value

If the function succeeds the result is True, otherwise it's False.

Description

SetDirLastWrite sets the specified directories last-write timestamp to the supplied datetime. This routine cannot be used to set the last-write timestamp of a file. Use SetFileLastWrite for that. This routine only works on Windows NT/Windows 2000 and for it to succeed the caller must have backup privileges (SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME).
