I think it is unstandardised. It had previously been called st_createtime but Eric Allman changed it to st_birthtime to avoid potential confusion with st_ctime. I think we should ask the FreeBSD implementers if there is any standard or guideline that (other) implementers of the feature should be aware of. I have CC'ed Kirk McKusick.
It occurs to me in particular to wonder how stat(2) reports to the caller that the filesystem containing the file just examined doesn't support st_birthtime. That is, how is "this data is not available for this file" reported by FreeBSD?
