Correct is, shows file creation time under Birth.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statx.2.html

stx_btime
              The file's creation timestamp.

I know that Haiku OS uses the word ctime to indicate file creation time, https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/classBStatable.html#ac80b82a49b8c757d4bf0034d70c33eb1.

Fills out ctime with the creation time of the node.

But Haiku OS ctime is not the same as Linux/Unix ctime.

Linux/Unix ctime means this here.

stx_ctime
              The file's last status change timestamp.

The first solution is to do the same as with stat command under Linux.

If you don't like the first solution, I recommend to customize stat command under Haiku OS. That is Birth is removed as a word and Created is added. So the user has the same word (Created) as in Tracker.

Change History (1)
