1.使用stat命令查看文件的三个时间
新创建的文件atime,mtime,ctime是一样的,也就是创建时间,但是之后再想查创建时间没有找到方法。
[root@xxx testtime]# ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4 Jan 16 11:22 aaa.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4 Jan 16 11:23 bbb.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4 Jan 16 11:23 ccc.txt
[root@xxx testtime]# stat aaa.txt
File: ‘aaa.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796504 Links: 1

三种时间的介绍
atime(Access Time) -文件的最近访问时间(cat、vim等)
mtime(Modify Time) -文件的内容最近修改的时间(vim编辑,重定向写入等)
ctime(Change Time) -文件属性最近修改的时间(内容、路径、所有者、权限等变化)
(1)使用cat命令查看文件,仅atime会更新
[root@xxx testtime]# cat aaa.txt
aaa
[root@xxx testtime]# stat aaa.txt
File: ‘aaa.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796504 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

(2)使用vim命令查看文件但不修改(:q),仅atime会更新;修改内容(:wq),三个时间都会更新
[root@xxx testtime]# vim aaa.txt
[root@xxx testtime]# stat aaa.txt
File: ‘aaa.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796507 Links: 1

(3)使用重定向追加内容到文件,会更新mtime和ctime,由于并没有读原文件内容atime不更新
[root@xxx testtime]# stat bbb.txt
File: ‘bbb.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796505 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

[root@xxx testtime]# cat aaa.txt >> bbb.txt

(4)改变文件路径,仅ctime会更新
[root@xxx testtime]# stat aaa.txt
File: ‘aaa.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796507 Links: 1

2.使用touch指令修改时间
(1) touch -a更新atime(ctime也会更新)
[root@xxx testtime]# date;touch -a bbb.txt
Thu Jan 16 11:29:11 CST 2020
[root@xxx testtime]# stat bbb.txt
File: ‘bbb.txt’
Size: 8 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796505 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Context: unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0

Change: 2020-01-16 11:29:11.802462045 +0800

[root@xxx testtime]#
使用touch不带选项会更新三个时间
[root@xxx testtime]# date;touch bbb.txt;stat bbb.txt
Thu Jan 16 11:32:22 CST 2020
File: ‘bbb.txt’
Size: 8 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796505 Links: 1

Modify: 2020-01-16 11:32:22.494482300 +0800
Change: 2020-01-16 11:32:22.494482300 +0800

[root@xxx testtime]#
(2) touch -d 使用指定的日期来修改
[root@xxx testtime]# touch -d "06:00:00" bbb.txt;stat bbb.txt
File: ‘bbb.txt’
Size: 8 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796505 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

Modify: 2020-01-16 06:00:00.000000000 +0800
Change: 2020-01-16 11:39:25.439745178 +0800
Birth: -
[root@xxx testtime]#
(3)用某文件的时间来设置另一个文件的时间,会复制atime和mtime,ctime根据当前时间更新
例如用bbb.txt的时间来设置ccc.txt的时间
[root@xxx testtime]# date;touch -r bbb.txt ccc.txt;stat ccc.txt
Thu Jan 16 11:41:06 CST 2020
File: ‘ccc.txt’
Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 134796506 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Context: unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0
Access: 2020-01-16 06:00:00.000000000 +0800
Modify: 2020-01-16 06:00:00.000000000 +0800
Change: 2020-01-16 11:41:06.349285070 +0800
