File modification time (seconds) on Unix


unix file time

I found this:

ls --time-style='+%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S' -l

Which exports something like this:

root:~# ls --time-style='+%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S' -ltotal 0-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 16-04-2015 23:14:02 other-file.txt-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 16-04-2015 23:13:58 test.txt

unix file time

According to the man page on my Mac (which has the BSD standard version of stat) you can get the epoch time version of the modification in seconds with:

stat -f %m /etc/passwd

Or if you want to print that out in hours:mins:secs you can do this:

perl -e "print scalar(localtime(`stat -f %m /etc/passwd`))"

unix file time

The following gives you last modified time in seconds since Epoch:

stat -c%Y <file>
