Modern Fs SetTimesNoFollow

Home › Filesystem › Filesystem Library › SetTimesNoFollow

SetTimesNoFollow

Sets a symbolic link's own times, leaving its target alone.

Syntax

SetTimesNoFollow( p, mtimeUtc [, atimeUtc ] )
SetTimesNoFollow( p, modified, accessed )    '' chrono.Instant

Notes

• SetTimes on a symbolic link itself, leaving its target alone; on anything that is not a link it is SetTimes.
• Ticks of 100 ns since 0001-01-01 UTC, or chrono.Instant values. A time of 0 leaves that one unchanged.

Examples

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

dim as ustring dir_ = CreateTempDir( "tkdoc" ).Value( )
dim as ustring p = PathJoin( dir_, "f.txt" )
WriteAllText( p, "x" )
dim as chrono.Instant t = chrono.Instant.ParseIso( "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z" )
print SetTimesNoFollow( p, t, t ).IsOk( )    '' true
print Stat( p ).Value( ).Modified( ) = t     '' true

RemoveDirAll( dir_ )
