xt_file_mod_cmp(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      xt_file_mod_cmp(3)

NAME
     xt_file_mod_cmp() - Compare time stamps on two files

LIBRARY
     #include <xtend/file.h>
     -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
     int     xt_file_mod_cmp(const char *file1, const char *file2)

ARGUMENTS
     file1, file2: Names of two filesystem objects whose time stamps
     are to be compared

DESCRIPTION
     file_mod_cmp() compares the modification times of file1 and file2.  It com-
     pares  modification  times on two files using the same rules as "make", and
     returns an strcmp(3) compatible status value indicating which is older.   A
     file that doesn't exist is considered older than the big bang.

RETURN VALUES
     A	value  < 0 if file1 is older or does not exist.  A value > 0 if file2 is
     older or does not exist.  0 if the files have identical modification times,
     or neither exists.

SEE ALSO
     make(1)
