find the creation date of a directory in rust

To find the creation date of a directory in Rust, you can use the std::fs::metadata function to get the metadata of the directory, and then use the std::fs::Metadata::created method to get the creation time.

Here's an example:

main.rs
use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let metadata = fs::metadata("/path/to/directory")?;
    let created = metadata.created()?;
    println!("Created: {:?}", created);
    Ok(())
}

9 lines

This code gets the metadata of the directory at "/path/to/directory", and then gets the creation time from the metadata. The created method returns a std::io::Result<SystemTime>, which represents the system time when the directory was created. You can convert this to a human-readable format using the {:?} format specifier, as shown in the example.
