In UNIX et al., there is no such thing. There are 3 times stored in
most file systems (FS) under UNIX.

atime -- access time, the time of the last access

mtime -- modification time, the time when the data of the file was last
modified.

ctime -- change time, the time the i-node information was last changed.

Some FS don't always update the access time.
