linux - Is there a way to know the creation time of a file in ubuntu?

Question

i am using ubuntu and want to know the creation time of a file even when it gets modified or accessed ?

Answer 1

Unfortunately Unix does not store the creation time of a file.

All you are able to get using stat is

1. time of last access
2. time of last modification
3. time of last status change

Note: When using filesystem type ext4 crtime is available!
