getfileinfo: Display the creator of a given file.
$ GetFileInfo -c ${filenamename}
try on your machine

The command "GetFileInfo -c ${filenamename}" is used to retrieve the creation date and time information of a specified file named ${filenamename}.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "GetFileInfo": This is a command-line utility that is typically available on Unix-like systems, including macOS. It is used to obtain various attributes and metadata of a file.

  • "-c": This is a flag/option that is specific to the GetFileInfo command. In this case, it is used to specify that we want to retrieve the creation date and time information of the file.

  • "${filenamename}": This variable represents a placeholder for the actual file name. You need to replace ${filenamename} with the name of the file you want to get the creation date and time information for.

By running this command with the appropriate file name, the utility will return the creation date and time information of the specified file.
