FileStats

The FileStats class details information about a file on disk. FileStats objects are returned by the FileSystem class method nova.fs.stat().

Properties

The last access time of the file’s content, as a Date object.

This property is readonly.

birthtime

The creation time of the file, as a Date object.

ctime
