#include <dos.h> unsigned int _dos_getftime(int handle, unsigned int *p_date, unsigned *p_time);
This function gets the date and time of the given file and puts these values into p_date and p_time variable. The meaning of DOS date in the p_date variable is the following:
F E D C B A 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 (bits)
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
*-----------------------* *-----------* *---------------*
year month day
year = 0-119 (relative to 1980)
month = 1-12
day = 1-31
The meaning of DOS time in the p_time variable is the following:
F E D C B A 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
*---------------* *-------------------* *---------------*
hours minutes seconds
hours = 0-23
minutes = 0-59
seconds = 0-29 in two-second intervals
See section _dos_setftime.
This function cannot be used to return last access and creation date and time, even on systems where the LFN API (see section _use_lfn) is available. See section _lfn_get_ftime, for a function that can be used to get the other two times. Also see section fstat, which is Posix-standard.
Returns 0 if successful and return DOS error on error (and sets errno=EBADF).
