Jim,
Thanks for your response. I AM trying to get a file's last
modification time from within a C program. After experimenting a bit
I found out that I can do a system call to "stat" from within my
program, even though I can't seem to run "stat" from the command line.
A system call to stat returns the file's a_time and m_time, which is
exactly what I needed. I can covert the m_time to a broken-down time
structure and extract the elements I need. There is probably a much
simpler way of doing this but for now this works.
Thanks.
