Hi,

I am a bit surprised to note that ls -al does not show file creation
time. Any time that gets displayed using options such as -c, -t etc.
are actually modification time. 

For example, if a file is created say on 22nd may 2008 and today i
open it and add a line to it. The modification time changes to 23 may
2008. But, later down the line, if you want to when the file was
created; its doesn't show it! Is there any other method to know the
creation time of the file? 

Regards
