#include

#include

void main()

{

struct stat status;

FILE *fp;

fp=fopen("test.txt","r");

fstat(fileno(fp),&status);

clrscr();

printf("Last date of modification : %s",ctime(&status.st_ctime));

getch();

}

Explanation:

Function int fstat(char *, struct stat *) store the information of open file in form of structure struct stat

Structure struct stat has been defined in sys\stat.h as

struct stat {

short st_dev, st_ino;

short st_mode, st_nlink;

int st_uid, st_gid;

short st_rdev;

long st_size, st_atime;

long st_mtime, st_ctime;

};

Here

(e)st_dev: It describe file has stored in which drive of your computer.

(f)st_mode: It describes various modes of file like file is read only, write only, folder, character file etc.

(g)st_size: It tells the size of file in byte.

(h)st_ctime:It tells last data of modification of the file in date format.

Function ctime convert date type in string format
