title: Any alternative to fstat?
body: <p>Is there any alternative to using <code>fstat()</code> function if you just need is the file size and creation date?<br>
  I know we can use <code>ftell()</code> to get the file size but I want the creation time and date too. The reason I dont want to use <code>fstat()</code> is that it takes a lot of time if the file list is long. </p>
