Show both ctime and atime in ls output

Question

Can I get both ctime and atime in ls output? Seems I can only pass one --time=ctime or --time=atime argument (the second is ignored). Is there any other way?

Answer 1

You could run stat -c '%x %z' filename.txt

Answer 2

If you are only parsing values out of ls, you can use stat instead:

# stat -c %x,%z,%n *

Where:

 %x     Time of last access
 %z     Time of last change
 %n     Name of file

Answer 3

with findyou get very close to what ls -lprovides:

# find . -maxdepth 1 \
     -printf "%M %u %g %s\t%Ab %Ad %AH:%AM\t%Cb %Cd %CH:%CM\t%P\n"

you have access to ctime (%C), atime(%A) and modification time (%T). read man find to find more info.
