The standards don't have a file creation date in the stat structure, but some filesystem types do store that data. IOf your files are on are a filesystem that stores a creation timestamp AND your operating system's code supporting that filesystem type maintains that data, the find utility on your operating probably has a primary like -atime, -ctime, and -mtime for creation dates.
If the find man page on your system doesn't have a primary to check creation timestamp or your files are stored on a filesystem type that doesn't maintain that data AND you haven't changed the mode of your files since you created them AND you wrote all of the data into them that they currently contain immediately after creating the files, then find's -ctime primary is probably sufficient for your needs. (The -ctime primary would be showing you the time at which data was last written into the file.)

xtappsetfallbackresources
XtAppSetFallbackResources(3) XT FUNCTIONS XtAppSetFallbackResources(3)
NAME
XtAppSetFallbackResources - set fallback resources
SYNTAX
void XtAppSetFallbackResources(XtAppContext app_context, String* specification_list);
ARGUMENTS
app_context
Specifies the application context.
specification_list
Specifies a NULL-terminated list of resource specifications to pre-load the database, or NULL.
DESCRIPTION
Each entry in specification_list points to a string in the format XrmPutLineResource. following a call to XtAppSetFallbackResources, when
a resource database is being created for a particular screen and the Intrinsics are not able to find or read an application-specific class
resource file and if specification_list is not NULL the resource specification in specification_list will be merged into the screen
resource database in place of the application-specific class resource file. XtAppSetFallbackResources is not required to copy specifica-
tion_list; the caller must ensure that the contents of the list and the strings addressed by the list remain valid until all displays are
initialized or until XtAppSetFallbackResources is called again. The value NULL for specification_list removes any previous fallback
resource specification for the application context. The intended use for fallback resources is to provide a minimal number of resources
that will make the application usable (or at least terminate with helpful diagnostic messages) when some problem exists in finding and
loading the application defaults file.
