C/C++ programming to list files' attributes in a directory

Question

See more:

I used the code from http://www.tenouk.com/ModuleA1.html to list files and their attributes in a directory.

I can list files timeline: create time, last access time, last write time.

However, there's another timeline that I don't know how to list which is the MFT (Master File Table) modified/changed time. Please help. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Richard - Thanks for your reply. I found out that someone wrote a program called "Time Stomp". The screenshot is listed on http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/File:Timestomp_mace_change.jpg. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want to modify timeline but just wanted to list those 4 timelines. Is there any way I can find a source code for "Time Stomp"?

Maybe Google can help you, or find the person who wrote it.

If you want a cross platform solution and easy to work with then you can try to use POCO Framework[^].
