Those are the only timestamps UNIX keeps. ctime is usually the file
creation time, but is also modified whenever the ownership or permissions of
the file are changed, at which point you have then lost any knowledge of
when the file was originally created.

No way Laurie as structure stat from stat.h only includes time stamps for
- last access
- last data modification
- last status modifications
