find the creation date of a csv file in rust

You can find the creation date of a csv file in Rust using the metadata function from the std::fs module. The metadata function returns the file metadata for a file at the given path, which includes information like the file size, creation timestamp, etc. Here's an example:

main.rs
use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let filename = "example.csv";
    let metadata = fs::metadata(filename)?;
    let created = metadata.created()?;
    println!("{} was created on {:?}", filename, created);

    Ok(())
}
239 chars
11 lines

In this example, we first import the fs module to access the metadata function. We then pass the filename of the csv file to metadata and check the created field of the resulting metadata using the created function. Finally, we print the filename and creation timestamp to the console.

Note that the created function returns a Result type, which we handle using the ? operator to propagate any errors up the call stack.
