I am looking for core utils manipulating crtime on ext4 and ntfs.
In a large vision, I would like get from coreutils the ability to use new
file attributes we can found on modern FS like ext4 and ntfs.
After seen sources ofr last version, I found ls command from GNU coreutils is
laking crtime usage. We have an answer here:
http://www.unix.com/man-page/OpenSolaris/1/ls/
With new option to ls:
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/ls [-aabccdeeffghhillmnopqrrsstuv...@]
[-/ c | v] [-% atime | crtime | ctime | mtime | all] [file]...
Thanks to say me if there is any improvement planned and where I can find it
on this site.
Please write to [email protected] (Cc'd) in the future.
You probably want the new %W format (it prints a file's 'birth-time')
that is supported in coreutils-8.6's stat program.
By the way, this works out of the box on BSD and Cygwin systems where
birthtime is part of stat(2), but for Linux, you'll have to wait until
the kernel implements xstat(2) before coreutils can print anything
meaningful.
