File date and time stamp

Xenon · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2001

I have to capture the creation date and time stamp for a file. The ls command doesn't list all the required information. I need year, month, day, hour, minute and second.

Any ideas...

The "stat" command will give you all the information about
a file. However, UNIX does not store file "creation" date/time.
All you get is "access", "modify" and "change".
