find -atime -ctime -mtime区别


atime、mtime与ctime的区别


access time  ， atime在读取文件或执行文件时会修改
create time  ， ctime在文件写入，更改所有者，权限。链接时文件的ctime会随之改变
modified time ，mtime 在文件写入时会改变。

ls -lu  或者 ls -l --time=atime 显示文件的atime
ls -lc 或者  ls -l --time=ctime 显示文件的ctime
ls -l    显示文件的mtime

生变法





atime 访问时间(access time)：访问时间是文件最后一次被读取的时间。因此

阅读一个文件会更新它的访问时间，而它的改变时间并没有变化(有关文件状态

的信息没有被改变)，它的修改时间也同样没有变化(文件内容本身没有被改变)

；

mtime 修改时间(modification time)：文件内容最后被修改的时间。

ctime 改变时间(change time)：文件状态（status）最后被改变的时间。

## touch改不了ctime？可能只能修改系统时间才能修改ctime了。
