Find directories created less than a week ago

Question

I know that I can use this command to find directories created or modified less than a week ago:

find /home -type d -mtime -7

But how to find a directory that was created less than a week ago?

Answer 1

Creation time is not .

There are only 3 timestamps you can check.

Last access time
Last modification time
Last change time

"Change" is one of: change permission, rename, etc. Although modification is only the content.

Answer 2

Short answer: you cannot.

There are three times in inode

• ctime: inode creation or modification time
• mtime: , inode
• atime:

, ctime , chmod/chown, ln ( ). Man stat man touch .

find /home -type d -mtime -7, , .
