Subject: B20: 'find' modifies file access dates
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1999 00:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2DF4B08BBEB1D111AE20006008CB4EAE36FACB@gomez.mercury.co.il> (raw)
Title: B20: 'find' modifies file access dates
Problem: ' find ' changes the access dates of files it checks to the day of its execution. It should access only directories it traverses. This happens only with directories containing sub-directories. The files it touches are the first in disk order. The first file not touched always appears after a sub-directory entry.
Configuration: Beta 20 under Win98, FAT & FAT32 file systems, find version 4.1
Example: cd <some directory with sub-directories>; find; ls - luU
You will see that most of the files (first ones) have an access date of today.
This doesn ' t happen when I use Linux ' find ' on the same file systems, so the problem probably isn ' t in ' find ' itself; This also doesn ' t happen w hen I use Windows ' ' Find Files ' on the same file systems, so the problem probably isn ' t with the WIN32 API; So I guess the problem is with the cygwin DLL.
Please respond directly to me, since I ' m not on this list (yet).
I ' ll appreciate any help.
