Question retrieve timestamp associated with a file
Hi All,
I am involved in a Datawarehousing project where my data files(ASCII text) are loaded on a Unix directory. When I do a Ls -l in Unix prompt i get a file listing along with the timestamp when these files were created/put on the server. I need to retrieve the timestamp associated with each file. Is there any command that takes in the filename as an argument and returns the timestamp associated with it?? Or is there any other way to get the timestamp for each file..
Urgent help is sought!!
Thanks in advance..
Nilotpal.

xip

xip(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    xip(1)

NAME

     xip -- Create a signed archive for secure distribution

SYNOPSIS

     xip [options] --sign identity input-file ... output-archive

DESCRIPTION

     The xip tool archives one or more files or directories into a signed XIP file. A XIP file is an analog to zip(1), but allows for a digital
     signature to be applied and verified on the receiving system, before the archive is expanded. When a XIP file is opened (by double-clicking),
     Archive Utility will automatically expand it (but only if the digital signature is intact).

     To create a XIP file, you will need to have a certificate and corresponding private key -- together called an ``identity'' -- in one of your
     accessible keychains. To add a signature, specify the name of the identity using the --sign option. The identity's name is the same as the
     ``Common Name'' of the certificate.

     If you want to search for the identity in a specific keychain, specify the path to the keychain file using the --keychain option. Otherwise,
     the default keychain search path is used.

     xip will embed the signing certificate in the XIP file, as well as any intermediate certificates that are found in the keychain.

     The signature can optionally include a trusted timestamp. This is enabled by default when signing with a Developer ID identity, but it can be
     enabled explicitly using the --timestamp option. A timestamp server must be contacted to embed a trusted timestamp. If you aren't connected
     to the Internet, you can use --timestamp=none to disable timestamps, even for a Developer ID identity.

ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS

     --sign identity-name
		 The name of the identity to use for signing the archive.

     --keychain keychain-path
		 Specify a specific keychain to search for the signing identity.

     --timestamp
		 Include a trusted timestamp with the signature.

     --timestamp=none
		 Disable trusted timestamp, regardless of identity.

     input-file ...
		   The path to one or more files or directories to be archived.

     output-archive
		   The path to which the signed archive will be written.
