Hi,

This is the implementation of FileAge() under FPC 2.6.0 (the upcoming release)

---------------------------------------
Function FileAge (Const FileName : String): Longint;

Var Info : Stat;

begin
  If  (fpstat (pointer(FileName),Info)<0) or fpS_ISDIR(info.st_mode) then
    exit(-1)
  else
    Result:=UnixToWinAge(info.st_mtime);
end;
---------------------------------------

The FPC documentation for fpstat() mentions that a zero return value
means success, and any non-zero value means failure.

So shouldn't the above usage rather be written as follows (just like
the example code show in the FPC documentation):


  If  (fpstat (pointer(FileName),Info)<>0) or fpS_ISDIR(info.st_mode) then
     ....
