about inode information 2

[RedFox4AIX]

Hi , could anybody tell me is there any command in solaris to show a file 's create time, access time, and modify time just like istat in aix?

afaik there is no command like istat in Solaris, "ls" may give you SOME info, but not accesstime.
guessing you can get all the info by writing a small C-program using ioctl() function...

The find command might be able to help you out also. I know it has atime and mtime options. Not sure if that is the route you'd want to take though, if you know C daFranze's solution would probably be better.

Here's a quick and dirty in C. I called it [tt]filedates[/tt]...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
        struct stat     filestats;

        if ( argc != 2 )
                {
                fprintf(stderr, "filedates: incorrect number of parameters!\n");
                return( -1 );
                }

        if( stat(argv[1], &filestats) )
                {
                fprintf(stderr, "filedates: Couldn't get file stats for %s!\n", argv[1]);
                return( -1 );
                }

        printf("         File Name: %s\n", argv[1]);
        printf("              Size: %ld\n", filestats.st_size);
        printf("  Last Access Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&filestats.st_atime)));
        printf("     Last Mod Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&filestats.st_mtime)));
        printf("Last Stat Chg Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&filestats.st_ctime)));

        return(0);
}

You can pretty it up as you need. It compiles with GCC with no problems.

Hope this helps.

great Sam, but btw. the returncodes are not POSIX conform... ;-)

D'oh!

The return codes aren't POSIX compatible, but that just goes to show you the benfits of open source!

Hope this helps.
