[OT] How exact are time stamps on files?


man stat

If, basically, a time_t value
is choosen
for a time stamp, then in practice the only possibility for two files to
come
up with the same time stamp, is when the time stamp is explicitly
supplied
via "touch", isn't it?

I think you're right but i'm not an expert.

i've tried something like :

echo content >a >b ; stat a b

the Access timestamps are the same, modify one are differents.
