Trying the fstat function and don't seem to be getting the right values for

uses BaseUnix,DateUtils,SysUtils;

  info : stat ;
begin
  if fpstat ('myfile.txt' , info) 0 then
begin
  writeln ('Fstat failed . Errno : ' , fpgeterrno) ;

  writeln ('Mod diff:' , DaySpan(Now,info.st_mtime));
  writeln ('mtime raw: ', info.st_mtime );
  writeln (' Now  raw: ', Now);
end .

touch mfyle.txt
fpc filedate.pp
./filedate.pp
atime  : 6-9-88--
mtime  : 6-9-88--
ctime  : 6-9-88-- 
Now STR: 5-12-08 22:15:08

Mod diff: 1.22849351907281E+009
mtime raw: 1228533307
 Now  raw:  3.97879271865278E+004

I was expecting atime, mtime and ctime to be very close to 'Now'.

The file date is December 5, 2008 as shown on the OS
ll myfile.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 fran users 16 2008-12-05 22:15 myfile.txt


What other function can I use instead of fpstat?
Perhaps a different function in another RTL library?

Need to be able to have the program work on both FreeBSD and Linux.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Those values are Unix timestamp values.  You need to convert them into 
TDateTime values.  Look for UnixToDateTime and DateTimeToUnix in DateUtils.

The documentation I have must be old (even though I got it a few days ago 
from the website). It says those functions are not implemented, yet I was 
able to use it.


Is the time displayed in UTC? Seems to be.
Any way to make the time displayed be my timezone?

Nevermind that...
Was confused because the date was in a different format..

You pointed me in the right direction and finished the program.
