Linux timestamps. Started 5/3/2024.

All linux supported by mainline Linux kernel has atime which is last accessed, mtime which is last modified, and ctime which is last changed at time. I know that ZFS file system has created at time instead of ctime and Android also has that. Created at time is not standard but may commonly go by crtime or btime and sometimes is on Linux. There is also such a thing as dtime or deletion time. That is standard for Linux. As per standard, in a terminal, "stat" will give what your system has. Normally atime and mtime can be set but crtime and ctime are harder but not impossible maybe unless on Android.
