function FileAge(const FileName: string): Integer;

C++ syntax:

extern PACKAGE int __fastcall FileAge(const AnsiString FileName);

Description

Call FileAge to obtain the OS timestamp of the file specified by FileName. The return value can be converted to a TDateTime object using the FileDateToDateTime function. The return value is -1 if the file does not exist.

: Under Linux, -1 is a valid timestamp. Use FileExists to verify that the file does not exist.
