The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function returns from an LO-status structure the last modification time, in seconds, of a smart large object.

mi_integer mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec(LO_stat)

MI_LO_STAT *LO_stat;

LO_stat

is a pointer to an LO-status structure that mi_lo_stat() allocates and fills in with status information.

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function is the LO-status accessor function that returns the last modification time from a set of status information. The last modification time includes changes to user data (writes to the smart large object) only. The resolution of the time that the mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function returns is number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

Important: Before you call mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec(), you must initialize an LO-status structure with the mi_lo_stat() function.

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function obtains the last modification time from the LO-status structure that LO_stat references.

See the descriptions of the following functions: mi_lo_stat(), mi_lo_stat_atime(), mi_lo_stat_cspec(), mi_lo_stat_ctime(), mi_lo_stat_free(), mi_lo_stat_refcnt(), and mi_lo_stat_size().

For more information about the last modification time of a smart large object, see Status Information. For more information on how to use the mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function, see The LO-Status Structure and Obtaining the Status of a Smart Large Object.
