If any of the time functions are needed then we should provide them
all. I presume that they are supported by all known operating systems?
If not this would be a good reason to limit to the universally
supported ones.

Dear Sylvain,
Quoting [Sylvain Reynaud] (Jun 01 2009):
Andre Merzky a écrit :
So, would something like
get_atime () get_mtime () get_ctime () get_btime ()
work for you folx? I realize that this differs from what Sylvain's group added to JSAGA... :-/
Dear Andre,
I think this is not so different from what we added, it is rather more comprehensive.
Right.
The reasons why we implemented only the "get_mtime" are: * many (most ?) protocols provide only 1 date (last modified). * our users were only lacking the last modification date.
Good reasons IMHO. If everybody agrees on it, then we might indeed want to limit the change to mtime only. However, I really would hate to come back to the topic a year later to add one attribute, and another year later for the next one, etc ;-)
Lets see what the others think..
Thanks, Andre.
