GNU Info (web2c.info)newer invocationNewer: Compare file modification times ====================================== Newer compares file modification times. Synopsis: newer SRC DEPENDENT Newer exits successfully if the file SRC exists and is older as DEPENDENT, i.e., the modification time (mtime) of SRC is greater than that of DEPENDENT. Note: Attribute Meanings. Although this could be written as a Perl script (Note: File Operations.) or using the `--full-time' option supported by `ls' (Note: ls invocation.), it seems undesirable to depend on such independent, and sadly non-universal, programs. This is used by MakeMPX (Note: makempx invocation). automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
