Name: GET-FILE-PROPERTIES

Section: File Operators

Synopsis:

`<get-file-properties PATH>`

Description:

Return an association-list containing operating system information about the file or directory named by PATH. PATH must be given fully; it is not relative to Web space in any way.

If the file exists and is accessible, the members of the returned association-list which are guaranteed to be present are:

Member | Value | Description
NAME | welcome.mhtml | The name of the file or directory, without any of the path information.

FULL-NAME | /www/site/docs/welcome.mhtml | The name of the file or directory, with full path information. This should be identical to PATH as received by `get-file-properties`.

SIZE | 2188 | The size of the file in bytes.

TYPE | FILE | The type of the file. This will either be `FILE` or `DIRECTORY`.

In addition to the above fields, the following fields appear on Unix based systems.

CREATED | 6 29 96 10 3 24 | The date on which this file was created. The value is an array, with ordered values being: month, day, year, hours, minutes, and seconds.

WRITTEN | 6 29 96 10 3 24 | The date on which this file was last written. The value is an array, with ordered values being: month, day, year, hours, minutes, and seconds.

READ | 6 30 96 19 27 51 | The date on which this file was last read. The value is an array, with ordered values being: month, day, year, hours, minutes, and seconds.
