Re: Docu buglet in apr_file_info_t?

[Brian Pane]

What *is* the meaning of ctime in apr_finfo_t supposed to
be?  On Unix, it's set to the Unix ctime (last modification
time of the inode).  On Windows and OS/2, it looks like
it's being set to a file creation time instead.

Hi,

I always thought ctime was 'creation' time.

However in include/apr_file_info.h:209
   /** The time the file was last modified */
   apr_time_t mtime;
   /** The time the file was last changed */
   apr_time_t ctime;

Aaron pointed out to me that OtherBill has
explained this misconception of creation time
in the past.  Bill, could you please document
in that file what is understood as a 'modification'
and what is known as a 'change'?

Thanks,

Sander
