Question

Can anybody suggest how can we create a program in C to know the last modification date of any file?

Answer 1

Function is gmtime and covert into string. Try something like this -

char *get_last_modified(char *file) {
    struct tm *clock;
    struct stat attr;

    stat(file, &attr);
    clock = gmtime(&(attr.st_mtime));

    return asctime(clock);
}
