Sort of the same thing in C - using stat
Code:
/* this displays files times to the second: ctime & mtime */
/* usage filetime <file name> [file name...[]] -  for HPUX */

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>   
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>


void statfile(char *, struct stat *);
void usage(void); 
void bail(void);  
void filetimes(char *, struct stat *);    

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){      
       struct stat st;
       int i=0;    
       char tmp[256]={'\0'};
