Hi,
I'm looking for a way to get the date of creation for a file. Is it possible ? I know that these informations are in the i-node but I don't know how to access them (if the 'find' command can do it with option -ctime, I have reasons to believe in it).
Thanks for helping me !
The time of creation of file is not stored by Unix. Three timestamps are recorded:
last access time - last read ( yes even read will show up here)/write
last modification time - last time file was modified
last inode change time - last time the file inode was modified - changing owner, group, link count, mode.
Cheers!
