 Nope, for that they use mtime. We can expand the names to skip the
 confusion.

mtime != ctime mtime = modification time = last time file content changed ctime = change time = last time inode changed (iirc)

Ah, it's been far too long since I looked at this stuff. I'll expand the abbreviations, and split out metadata change and file contents change times.
