ctime

ctime(file)

Equivalent to stat(file).ctime

Examples

In the Julia programming language, the function ctime(file) is equivalent to stat(file).ctime. It returns the creation time of the specified file.

julia> ctime("path/to/file.txt")
2022-01-01T12:34:56

Here are some common examples of how to use the ctime function:

Get the creation time of a file:
```
julia> ctime("path/to/file.txt")
2022-01-01T12:34:56
```
This example returns the creation time of the file located at "path/to/file.txt".
Use with the stat function:
```
julia> file_stat = stat("path/to/file.txt")
julia> ctime(file_stat)
2022-01-01T12:34:56
```
The ctime function can also be used with the stat function to obtain the creation time from a file's StatStruct.

Common mistake example:

julia> ctime("nonexistent_file.txt")
ERROR: SystemError: stat: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

In this example, the file specified does not exist, which results in a SystemError. Make sure to provide a valid file path to avoid such errors and ensure the file exists before using ctime.
