Figure 29 - This is an example of the “Detailed File View” screen which is accessed through the
“General File Utility” by positioning the cursor to the line displaying the file or directory and entering
“F”.
SENTRY reads the file information and displays it. Note in our example screen (left top three fields)
SENTRY displays the full pathname, the type of file, and the number of bytes used by the file. The
possible file types are socket, symbolic link, normal, block mode special, directory, character mode special,
and pipe. If the file is not a standard UNIX type SENTRY will report it as “Unknown File Type”.
In the right top half of the screen SENTRY displays the I-node number and the number of links plus three
date/time stamps. The following paragraphs are quoted from UNIX documentation for these three dates.
Check YOUR system documentation for possible differences.
Last Access: Time when file data was last read or modified. Changed by the following system calls:
mknod, utimes, read and write. For reasons of efficiency, this value is not set when a directory is searched,
although this would be more logical.
Last Modify: Time when data was last modified. It is not set by changes of owner, group, link, count, or
mode. Changed by the following system calls: mknod, utimes, write.
Last Change: Time when file status was last changed. It is set both by writing and changing the I-node.
Changed by the following system calls: chmod, chown, link, mknod, rename, unlink, utimes, write.
