I used the stat() function on linux to retrieve details about a file.
One of the details is time of last access stored in variable "st_atime"
But what is the format specifier to display this detail.My program keeps throwing errors.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/stat.h>
int main()
{
struct stat buf;
stat("reversi.py",&buf);
printf("The size is...%d\n",buf.st_atime);
return 0;
}
The error is
warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘__time_t’ [-Wformat=]
printf("The size is...%d\n",buf.st_atime);
What is the correct format specifier for this kind of data.
Also there are several more details returned by the function.Is there a place where i could find all the correct format specifiers for these details.?
Thank You.
The ctime(), gmtime() and localtime() functions all takes time_t data type.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include<sys/stat.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
struct stat buf;
stat("1.c",&buf);
printf("Last Access was : %s\n",ctime(&buf.st_atime));
return 0;
}
this will print
Last Access was : Tue Apr 28 10:09:15 2015
