File modification time
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Get and set the modification time of a file.
Ada
Ada does not allow you to change the date of a file but you can definitely read it:
with Ada.Directories; use Ada.Directories;
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Calendar.Formatting; use Ada.Calendar.Formatting;
procedure File_Time_Test is
begin
Put_Line (Image (Modification_Time ("file_time_test.adb")));
end File_Time_Test;

built-ins.
There is no built-in way of setting a file's modification time.

POSIX utime()
utime() has a precision of one second. This program would truncate the time to the last second, losing precision if the filesystem is more precise.
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <utime.h>
const char *filename = "input.txt";
int main() {
struct stat foo;
time_t mtime;
struct utimbuf new_times;
if (stat(filename, &foo) < 0) {
perror(filename);
return 1;
}
mtime = foo.st_mtime; /* seconds since the epoch */
new_times.actime = foo.st_atime; /* keep atime unchanged */
new_times.modtime = time(NULL); /* set mtime to current time */
if (utime(filename, &new_times) < 0) {
perror(filename);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
BSD utimes()
With BSD, utime() is obsolete. utimes() has a precision of 1 microsecond (where 1 second = 1000000 microseconds).
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <err.h>
const char *filename = "input.txt";
int main() {
struct stat foo;
struct timeval new_times[2];
if (stat(filename, &foo) < 0)
err(1, "%s", filename);
/* keep atime unchanged */
TIMESPEC_TO_TIMEVAL(&new_times[0], &foo.st_atim);
/* set mtime to current time */
gettimeofday(&new_times[1], NULL);
if (utimes(filename, new_times) < 0)
err(1, "%s", filename);
return 0;
}
POSIX utimensat()
utimensat(2) has a precision of 1 nanosecond (where 1 second = 10**9 nanoseconds).
Program needs to be linked with -lrt
.
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
const char *filename = "input.txt";
int main() {

Common Lisp
Common Lisp doesn't provide a way to set the modification time. The write date can be accessed, however, using file-write-date:
(file-write-date "input.txt")
Implementations may, in addition, provide other ways of accessing these file attributes, e.g., POSIX bindings:
(1.0.30, OS X, Intel),
(sb-posix:utime
takes an access time and a modification time rather than an array of two times.)
(let* ((filename "input.txt")
(stat (sb-posix:stat filename))
(mtime (sb-posix:stat-mtime stat)))
(sb-posix:utime filename
(sb-posix:stat-atime stat)
(sb-posix:time)))

getTimes(fname, fileAccessTime, fileModificationTime);
writeln(fileAccessTime, "\n", fileModificationTime);
setTimes(fname, fileAccessTime, fileModificationTime);
}
For Windows systems there is also getTimesWin(), that gives the file creation time too.

(nth 5 (file-attributes "input.txt")) ;; mod date+time
(set-file-times "input.txt") ;; to current-time
(set-file-times "input.txt"
(encode-time 0 0 0 1 1 2014)) ;; to given date+time
set-file-times
sets both the access time and modification time of the file. Time values are in the usual Emacs list form.
Emacs file name handler magic applies to both file-attributes
and set-file-times
so they can act on "remote" files too.
File visiting buffers record the modification time of the file so as to guard against changes by another program. set-file-times
from within Emacs doesn't update those buffer times and so looks like an external change.

Fortran
No facility. The INQUIRE statement for files has no keywords to ascertain the disc file's creation time, last access time, last modification time, and much else also in a standardised way so there is no way to modify these items either. A particular installation may offer library routines (written in assembler perhaps), or a modified compiler with extra features, but in general, there is no facility - other than performing a file action at the desired time.

Frink
Frink runs on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can use any of its methods. The underlying code returns the modification time as the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC. The following converts between Frink's human-friendly time systems and the milliseconds since the epoch.
f = newJava["java.io.File", "FileModificationTime.frink"]
epoch = #1970 UTC#
f.setLastModified[(#2022-01-01 5:00 AM# - epoch) / ms]

Icon and Unicon
Icon doesn't support 'stat' or 'utime'; however, information can be obtained by use of the system function to access command line.
every dir := !["./","/"] do {
if i := stat(f := dir || "input.txt") then {
write("info for ",f ," mtime= ",ctime(i.mtime),", atime=",ctime(i.ctime), ", atime=",ctime(i.atime))
utime(f,i.atime,i.mtime-1024)
i := stat(f)
write("update for ",f ," mtime= ",ctime(i.mtime),", atime=",ctime(i.ctime), ", atime=",ctime(i.atime))
}
else stop("failure to stat ",f)
}
Notes:
- Icon and Unicon accept both / and \ for directory separators.
- 'ctime' formats an integer representing an epoch time into human readable form
- 'utime' updates the atime and mtime values

Get only.
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var f = fso.GetFile('input.txt');
var mtime = f.DateLastModified;

var file = document.getElementById("fileInput").files.item(0);
var last_modified = file.lastModifiedDate;
Jsish
Getting the mod time is a builtin. Setting the time is currently not, so touch is used here.
A C extension could provide access to the utime system call if desired.
/* File modification times, in Jsi */
var fileTime = File.mtime('fileModificationTime.jsi');
puts("Last mod time was: ", strftime(fileTime * 1000));
exec('touch fileModificationTime.jsi');
fileTime = File.mtime('fileModificationTime.jsi');
puts("Mod time now: ", strftime(fileTime * 1000));
- Output:

Get file modification time:
FileDate["file","Modification"]
results is returned in format: {year,month,day,hour,minute,second}. Setting file modification time:
SetFileDate["file",date,"Modification"]
where date is specified as {year,month,day,hour,minute,second}.
MATLAB / Octave
f = dir('output.txt'); % struct f contains file information
f.date % is string containing modification time
f.datenum % numerical format (number of days)
datestr(f.datenum) % is the same as f.date
% see also: stat, lstat
Modifying of file access time can be done through system calls:
system('touch -t 201002032359.59 output.txt');

MAXScript has no method to set the mod time
-- Returns a string containing the mod date for the file, e.g. "1/29/99 1:52:05 PM"

UNIX Shell
There are several ways to handle files' timestamps in most *nix systems. For these examples, we'll assume you need to retrieve the timestamp to a variable. These examples use stat and touch from the GNU Core Utilities, under bash, but they should work with any POSIX-compliant implementation under any sh-compatible shell.
For all of these examples, $F
is a variable holding the filename to examine, while T
(and $T
) is the timestamp.
To get the timestamp in seconds since the epoch:
T=`stat -c %Y $F`
To get the timestamp in human-readable format:
T=`stat -c %y $F`
Note that the only difference between the above examples is capital Y vs lower-case y.
In the following examples, the "-c" argument to touch tells it to not create any files that don't already exist.
To set file F to time T, where T is in a human-readable format:
# Note the quotation marks -- very important!
T="2000-01-01 01:02:03.040506070 -0800"
touch -c -d "$T" $F
To set file F to time T, where T is in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] (the square brackets mark optional parts):
T=200102030405.06
touch -c -t $T $F
If the year is left out, the current year is used. If the seconds are left out, 0 (zero) is used. Leaving out the optional parts of the above results in this:
T=02030405
touch -c -t $T $F
If no time is specified, then the timestamp is set to the current time:
touch -c $F
There are, of course, other ways to do both tasks -- for example, one could use ls -l --time-style=full-iso
and then process the resulting list with some other tool (e.g. awk or Perl).

Wren
As there is currently no way for Wren-cli to get or set file modification times, we instead use an embedded script so the C host can do this for us.
/* File_modification_time_wren */

foreign class Stat {
construct new(fileName) {}
foreign atime
foreign mtime
}
foreign class Utimbuf {
construct new(actime, modtime) {}
foreign utime(fileName)
}
// gets a Date object from a Unix time in seconds
var UT2Date = Fn.new { |ut| Date.unixEpoch.addSeconds(ut) }
Date.default = "yyyy|-|mm|-|dd| |hh|:|MM|:|ss" // default format for printing
var fileName = "temp.txt"
var st = Stat.new(fileName)
System.print("'%(fileName)' was last modified on %(UT2Date.call(st.mtime)).")
var utb = Utimbuf.new(st.atime, 0) // atime unchanged, mtime = current time
if (utb.utime(fileName) < 0) {
System.print("There was an error changing the file modification time.")
return
