Im trying to use clock_t but I cant find any good examples
Im also looking for a way on how to use the stat command
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
sorry to reply to this again
but I think I understand my question regarding the use of clock_t
does anyone know a good example where stat is ued?
man stat isnt very helpful
struct stat statbuff;
stat( "file.txt", &statbuff );
Then look in statbuff for the fields which interest you
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct stat buf; if (stat(argv[0], &buf) != -1) { printf("File size = %d\n", buf.st_size); printf("File mode = %03o\n", buf.st_mode & (S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO)); printf("File UID = %d\n", buf.st_uid); printf("File GID = %d\n", buf.st_gid); printf("File last accessed = %s", ctime(&buf.st_atime)); printf("File last modified = %s", ctime(&buf.st_mtime)); printf("File last changed = %s", ctime(&buf.st_ctime)); } return (0); }
When all else fails, read the instructions.
