Hi, I want to ask if I got this right. The manpage of ls, supplied with FreeBSD 6.0 says: -c Use time when file status was last changed for sorting or printing. -u Use time of last access, instead of last modification of the file for sorting and printing I could see in the source of ls that these two options are opposite of each other, but being ignorant about the architecture of UNIX file system, i'm not positive that in addition to the time of last modification and the time of last access, there is not another time - "file status change time". Or is it what I suppose, that the -c option is just on by default and no other than these 2 times are saved in the file system info about the file.
