File timestamps (Linux)
From ben.goodacre.name/tech
Last modified time
- Shown by default from ls, with ls -l
Last accessed time
- Shown with ls -lu
Inode change time
- Show with ls -lc
- Often incorrectly reported as the creation time. It can refer to the creation time but the inode will be 're-created' by other operations such as chown, chmod, chgrp and mv.
