The
stats.ctimeMs property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the fs.Stats class that is used to get the timestamp when the file status has been changed last time since the POSIX epoch expressed in milliseconds.
Syntax:
stats.ctimeMs;
Return Value: It returns a number or BigInt value that represents the timestamp when the file status has been changed last time since the POSIX epoch expressed in milliseconds.
Below examples illustrate the use of stats.ctimeMs in Node.js:
Example 1:
Output:
using stat: 1592665604516.1057
using lstat: 1592665807796.265
Example 2:
Output:
using stat synchronous: 1592665807796.265
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the
node filename.js command and use the file_path correctly.
