Listing the creation date/time of a file in unix
Hi,
I need the unix command which returns only the file name and its creation date/time in unix. I tried ls -l <filename>. But that is giving other details also which I do not want. Could anyone help me out? Thanks.

Agree with you.
But creation time should be stored somewhere i beleive as the find command can get the files created on/before/after a particular date. Curious to know where this info might be available. Rahul.

from the man pages of find with respect to time modification Code:
-atime n
True if the file was accessed n days ago.
Code:
-ctime n
True if the file's status was changed n days ago.
Code:
-mtime n
True if the file's data was modified n days ago.

This has helped. Thank you all for your support. Actually I wanted to access the modified date and time only. I would anyhow find out whether it is possible to know the creation date and time of a file in unix and let you all know. Thanks again.

Code:
-ctime n True if the file's status was changed n days ago. Sorry, I thought ctime was creation date. Just went by the name.
