Yes, although the stat structure only has the st_birthtimespec field if you build with 64-bit inodes enabled. This is the default on Snow Leopard or for 64-bit, but not for 32-bit on Leopard or earlier. Unfortunately, it seems that FSMegaInfo is not 64-bit-inode aware. It will never print the birth time. It's not hard to update it to be aware of that, though. > st_atime refers to the last time the file was accessed.

It's not just for 'stat'. To get the creation date: ./FSMegaInfo -vv FSGetCatalogInfo -kFSCatInfoCreateDate /path/to/file or, for everything: ./FSMegaInfo -vv FSGetCatalogInfo -kFSCatInfoGettableInfo /path/to/file Cheers, Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
