(R 2.8.0 on Debian GNU/Linux sid)
?file.info contains:
mtime, ctime, atime: integer of class '"POSIXct"': file modification,
creation and last access times.
This implies that ctime is "file [...] creation [...] time"
Has R implemented ctime differently to Unix?
I understand, on Linux at least, that ctime is the last change time
(not the creation time). See "man ls" which says:
-c [...] ctime (time of last modification of file status
information) [...]
However, testing seems to indicate file.info is returning the change
time, not creation time (I'm not sure we can actually determine
creation time of a file on Linux).
Perhaps just a file.info documentation slip?

Graham
