On what are you basing this information? I can't find utimes in SUSv4
at all? It seems to have been completely removed. The non-obsolete
functions are "futimens" and "utimensat", declared in sys/stat.h.

Wait, "utimes" is also in the documentation for the above, under the
XSI option, but it does not appear in the ToC. I suppose this is an
error. In any case, I think only "futimens" and "utimensat" should be
used, especially since they're the only ones which can access the full
nanosecond precision.
