Hello,
I’m new to Linux (Redhat) and just started C programming on it today, however I do have many year of C on other platforms.
What I’m writing is a file copy utility that will recures down a directory tree and copy files into a single directory. However, I when I create/open the new file to write in, I wish to preserve the file creation time of the original file. Now I have found the utime() function that will allow me to change the access and modified times but can’t find a function to set the file creation time… Can you help please.
