.. function:: utime(path, times)
- Set the access and modified times of the file specified by *path*. If *times* is
- ``None``, then the file's access and modified times are set to the current time.
- Otherwise, *times* must be a 2-tuple of numbers, of the form ``(atime, mtime)``
- which is used to set the access and modified times, respectively. Whether a
- directory can be given for *path* depends on whether the operating system
- implements directories as files (for example, Windows does not). Note that the
- exact times you set here may not be returned by a subsequent :func:`stat` call,
- depending on the resolution with which your operating system records access and
- modification times; see :func:`stat`.
+ Set the access and modified times of the file specified by *path*. If *times*

Availability: Macintosh, Unix, Windows.
``-1``, status is requested for any process in the process group ``-pid`` (the
absolute value of *pid*).
+ An :exc:`OSError` is raised with the value of errno when the syscall
+ returns -1.

On Windows: Wait for completion of a process given by process handle *pid*, and
return a tuple containing *pid*, and its exit status shifted left by 8 bits
(shifting makes cross-platform use of the function easier). A *pid* less than or

- Issue #3476: binary buffered reading through the new "io" library is now
thread-safe.
