Answer / l praveen kumar
Shells and utilities like ls and date generally try to
conform to a set of standards - POSIX.
The standard says that three filetimes are recorded - access
time, modification time, and inode change time - atime,
mtime, ctime. It also says these three are the only
filetimes that will be shown for a file.
If you find a filesystem that supports a fourth filetime,
creation time, it is actually an oddity, and most everything
out there will not be able to support it.
In fact, date -r <filename> shows mtime, according to the
man page. stat does the same - only shows file modification
time. And these are GNU extensions, available on with GNU
utilities, and by default, on linux boxes. "Regular" unix
distributions do not have stat and the -r option for date.
The short answer is: there are no file creation times in
UNIX. It is a windows thing.
