File Times for #golang
Go has a hidden time functions for most platforms, this repo makes them accessible.
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/djherbis/times"
)
func main() {
t, err := times.Stat("myfile")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err.Error())
}
log.Println(t.AccessTime())
log.Println(t.ModTime())
if t.HasChangeTime() {
log.Println(t.ChangeTime())
}
if t.HasBirthTime() {
log.Println(t.BirthTime())
}
}

- Linux btime requires kernel 4.11 and filesystem support, so HasBirthTime = false. Use Timespec.HasBirthTime() to check if file has birth time. Get(FileInfo) never returns btime.
- Windows XP does not have ChangeTime so HasChangeTime = false, however Vista onward does have ChangeTime so Timespec.HasChangeTime() will only return false on those platforms when the syscall used to obtain them fails.
- Also note, Get(FileInfo) will now only return values available in FileInfo.Sys(), this means Stat() is required to get ChangeTime on Windows
