Utility to set file birth/creation date?

S

sean137

I'm looking for a utility that can set a file's birth/creation date. From C, I could use futimens() or utimensat(), but I'm hoping for something I can use from the shell. It seems 'touch' is not able to set birth time, only modification and access times; and 'stat' can get birth time, but not set it. I've spent and hour searching, but I'm just not finding anything, so have joined this forum.

Thanks. Sean.
 
Darn, I did not find that thread I think because I searched for only "st_birthtime" but not "st_birthtim".

Well, from that thread, futimens() seems my only choice. I think fsdb doesn't support ZFS, so that's not an option for me.
