I find many users are acquiescent to the fact that many linux/unix variants do not support/store the file creation time. Yet, I feel it has some relevance in operations and audit & trail. I see that it is not even an attribute in the struct stat {          dev_t     st_dev;     /* ID of device containing file */          ino_t     st_ino;     /* inode number */          mode_t    st_mode;    /* protection */          nlink_t   st_nlink;   /* number of hard links */          uid_t     st_uid;     /* user ID of owner */          gid_t     st_gid;     /* group ID of owner */          dev_t     st_rdev;    /* device ID (if special file) */          off_t     st_size;    /* total size, in bytes */          blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */          blkcnt_t  st_blocks;  /* number of blocks allocated */          time_t    st_atime;   /* time of last access */          time_t    st_mtime;   /* time of last modification */          time_t    st_ctime;   /* time of last status change */      };Obviously, it is a well meaning imposition, from requirements perspective.Why is this not a valid/reasonable requirement?
Linux file creation time. What are the requirement challenges in considering useful atribute?
