如何在目录中递归查找文件修改的最新日期和时间？

Question

I am aware of this related question .

What I want is just the date and time of the last modification for any file inside a directory (recursively, the whole tree). Is there any fast way to do this for large directories?

Alternatively, I could also use a check telling me whether there was any modification after a given date.

Answer 1

To list the timestamp of all files in the folder :

 find . -type f -printf '%t\n'

To get a unix timestamp :

find . -type f -printf '%T@\n'

To list the timestamp of all files that were modified within the last 5 days

find . -type f -mtime -5 -printf '%t\n'

Note : all those commands are recursives
