Time
====

   Each file has three time stamps, which record the last time that
certain operations were performed on the file:

  1. access (read the file's contents)

  2. change the status (modify the file or its attributes)

  3. modify (change the file's contents)

   You can search for files whose time stamps are within a certain age
range, or compare them to other time stamps.
