gettimeofday is no longer in any standard. It was replaced by clock_gettime. But anyway, it is not possible to know which clock is the same as the one used for the filesystem. Since the value will be compared to st_mtime from stat(), it is better to also use stat() for the comparison. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
