Examples

#import "std/chrono"
#import "std/fs"
using fs, chrono

dim td as FsResultUStr = CreateTempDir( "fbdoc" )
dim as ustring dir_ = td.Value( )
dim as ustring p = PathJoin( dir_, "f.txt" )
WriteAllText( p, "hello" )

dim info as FileInfo = Stat( p ).Value( )

'' TICKS -- the same 100 ns tick std/chrono uses, so it converts
'' straight into an Instant with no arithmetic
print info.ModifiedUtc( ) > 0            '' -1 (true)

dim as Instant when_ = Instant.FromTicks( info.ModifiedUtc( ) )
print when_.IsValid                      '' true
