how to use the lutimes function from the fs-extra library in typescript

To use the lutimes function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you first need to install the library and its types. You can do this with the following command:

npm install fs-extra @types/fs-extra

Once you have installed the package and its types, you can use the lutimes function in your TypeScript code as follows:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';

const filePath = '/path/to/file.txt';
const atime = new Date('2022-12-31T23:59:59Z');
const mtime = new Date('2022-12-31T23:59:59Z');

fs.lutimes(filePath, atime, mtime, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(`Successfully changed access time and modification time of file at path ${filePath}`);
  }
});

In this example, we first define the path to the file we want to change the access and modification time for. We also define the new access and modification times as Date objects.

Then we use the fs.lutimes function to change the access and modification time of the file. The fs.lutimes function takes four arguments: the path to the file, the new access time, the new modification time, and a callback function to handle errors.

If the function call is successful, the callback function will not receive any errors and we will log a success message to the console. If there is an error with the function call, we will log the error to the console instead.

Note that lutimes function in fs-extra library is used to update the access time and modification time of a symbolic link. If you want to modify the access time and modification time of an actual file, use utimes function instead.
