[BSD kernel] Interesting picture

[ProFTP]

Interesting picture

At the left the '/usr/src/sys/i386/conf'
That it meant?

Why date there in such format?

Because of what source code the such?

 

[fronclynne]

I don't know about mc, but ls(1) says,

If the modification time of the file is more than 6 months in the past or
     future, and the -D or -T are not specified, then the year of the last
     modification is displayed in place of the hour and minute fields.

In what humour of this picture?

Can you find a different translator?

OT: I'm sure mc just parses/awks/sorts the output of ls, so fronclynn's observaton is probably entirely correct (in whatever humour of this picture).

$ perl -lne '@a = stat("xinitrc"); print "$a[8]\n"' xinitrc

1246311080

yes, unixtime

Probably date in unixtime was correct?... Before it was translated in other format...
... Can here was it is connected with 2010...

Try reading fronclynn's post again. The printed date is within 6 months (ago/ahead), so it gets printed differently.

 

[fronclynne]

If it were ls(1), you would pass [red]-D %b\ %d\ %G[/red] to always see the year. Maybe look at how misc/mc handles strftime(3)?

Thank you, probably just so ...
