How to return file date only?

2002-11-20 Thread How Can ThisBe 
I am trying to return the creation date of a file in MMDDhhmmYY format. I'm 
sure there is a command, I just can not find it.

Under cygwin the command is `date +%m%d%H%M%y -r $FILE`, however FreeBSD 
does not have this function with 'date'

Thanks for any help!

FreeBSD has stat(1).

'stat' does not seem to be installed (at least by default) on a FreeBSD 
4.7-STABLE system

$ stat -f '%c' .
stat: not found

Any other ideas?

Perl :)

% cat ctime.pl
use POSIX qw(gmtime strftime);
if (defined($ARGV[0])) {
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat($ARGV[0]);
print strftime('%T', gmtime($ctime)) . \n;
}

% perl ctime.pl .

Always ports if you want to use it.

snoopy(/home/ph1)% whereis stat
stat: /usr/ports/sysutils/stat
