Crate filetime_creation

Timestamps for files in Rust

An enhanced version of filetime, which can set file creation time on Windows.

Internally, this crate use SetFileTime Win32 API to set the file creation time on Windows.

On other platforms, all functions will just call the corresponding filetime’s function, and ignore the file creation time.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
filetime_creation = "0.1"

Usage

use std::fs;
use filetime_creation::{FileTime, set_file_ctime};

let now = FileTime::now();

set_file_ctime("test.txt", now);
assert_eq!(now, FileTime::from(fs::metadata("test.txt").unwrap().created().unwrap()));
