Below examples illustrate the use of stats.atime property in Node.js:
Example 1:
const fs = require( 'fs' );
fs.stat( './' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log( "Using stat: " + stats.atime);
});
fs.lstat( './filename.txt' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log( "Using lstat: " + stats.atime);
});
|
Output:
Using stat: Sun Jun 21 2020 00:54:20 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Using lstat: Sun Jun 21 2020 01:00:52 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Example 2:
const fs = require( 'fs' ).promises;
(async () => {
const stats = await fs.stat( './filename.txt' );
console.log( "Using stat synchronous: "
+ stats.atime);
})(). catch (console.error)
|
Output:
Using stat synchronous: Sun Jun 21 2020 01:00:52 GMT+0530
(India Standard Time)
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js
command and use the file_path correctly.
