Hello all,
It might be time for me to take another step away from dependence on Windows - something I never quite tire of doing :) One small item standing in my way (there are big ones too) is a need to set file time stamps on Both Windows and Linux.
I can use SetFileTimeStamp() on Windows, and touch via OSProcess on Linux. Is there a better way, especially on Linux?
BTW, a copy preserving time stamps won't help: the idea is to get shared drives OUT of the picture, so there either no source or no destination as far as a copy command would be concerned.
Never tried this myself, but the utime() system call can change the access and modification times of a file to any time with one-second precision, provided you are running as the owner of the file. utimes() is the same but with microsecond resolution. And there are some related glibc routines referenced in the man page. Regards, -Martin
