fileatime -- Gets last access time of file
Description
int fileatime (string filename)
Returns the time the file was last accessed, or FALSE in case of an error. The
time is returned as a Unix timestamp.
The results of this function are cached. See
clearstatcache() for more details.
Note: The atime of a file is supposed to change whenever the data blocks of a file are
being read. This can be costly performancewise when an application regularly accesses a very large
number of files or directories. Some Unix filesystems can be mounted with atime updates disabled to
increase the performance of such applications; USENET news spools are a common example. On such
filesystems this function will be useless.
This function will not work on remote files; the
file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
