No. There's nothing special about disk-metadata timestamps on any Unix I've
ever seen; they're just the local time_t type, whatever that is.
Checking...oh, that's interesting. Since 2.6, Linux puts a struct timespec
there, with some backward-compatibility macros. Your creation/mod/stat
bits can have nanosecond resolution; who knew?
