3. Tips and Tutorials
Unix keeps 3 timestamps for each file: mtime, ctime, and atime. Most people seem to understand atime (access time), it is when the file was last read. There does seem to be some confusion between mtime and ctime though. ctime is the inode change time while mtime is the file modification time. ... (2 Replies)

Hi,
ctime is the inode change time. If reading a file, its atime will be updated, which should cause inode member i_atime changed, which is an inode change. So ctime should also be updated. But if I try to ls a directory on redhat, only the directory atime gets updated, not ctime. Why?

net::sftp::foreign::attributes
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes(3pm)
NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes - File/directory attribute container
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
my $a1 = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes->new();
$a1->set_size($size);
$a1->set_ugid($uid, $gid);
my $a2 = $sftp->stat($file)
or die "remote stat command failed: ".$sftp->status;
my $size = $a2->size;
my $mtime = $a2->mtime;
DESCRIPTION
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes encapsulates file/directory attributes for Net::SFTP::Foreign. It also provides serialization and
deserialization methods to encode/decode attributes into Net::SFTP::Foreign::Buffer objects.
USAGE
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes->new()
Returns a new "Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes" object.
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes->new_from_buffer($buffer)
Creates a new attributes object and populates it with information read from $buffer.
$attrs->as_buffer
Serializes the Attributes object $attrs into a buffer object.
$attrs->flags
returns the value of the flags field.
$attrs->size
returns the values of the size field or undef if it is not set.
$attrs->uid
returns the value of the uid field or undef if it is not set.
$attrs->gid
returns the value of the gid field or undef if it is not set.
$attrs->perm
returns the value of the permissions field or undef if it is not set.
See also "stat" in perlfunc for instructions on how to process the returned value with the Fcntl module.
For instance, the following code checks if some attributes object corresponds to a directory:
use Fctnl qw(S_ISDIR);
...
if (S_ISDIR($attr->perm)) {
# it is a directory!
}
$attrs->atime
returns the value of the atime field or undef if it is not set.
$attrs->mtime
returns the value of the mtime field or undef if it is not set.
%extended = $attr->extended
returns the vendor-dependent extended attributes
$attrs->set_size($size)
sets the value of the size field, or if $size is undef removes the field. The flags field is adjusted accordingly.
$attrs->set_perm($perm)
sets the value of the permsissions field or removes it if the value is undefined. The flags field is also adjusted.
$attr->set_ugid($uid, $gid)
sets the values of the uid and gid fields, or removes them if they are undefined values. The flags field is adjusted.
This pair of fields can not be set separatelly because they share the same bit on the flags field and so both have to be set or not.
$attr->set_amtime($atime, $mtime)
sets the values of the atime and mtime fields or remove them if they are undefined values. The flags field is also adjusted.
$attr->set_extended(%extended)
sets the vendor-dependent extended attributes
$attr->append_extended(%more_extended)
adds more pairs to the list of vendor-dependent extended attributes
