I am writing a UNIX system program to retrieve file information using the stat system call. In my code I have the following lines: struct stat statbuf; stat (filename,&statbuf); printf ("%ld",statbuf.st_mtime); This prints out a number like 661742557 for the time the contents of the file were last modified. What does this number mean and how would I convert to more intelligible format (such as day/month/year hour:minute) if possible ? Any comments would be much appreciated.
