7ef4796 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    On UN*X, st_ctime is the last status change time, not the creation time.
    
    That's the time the file's inode last changed, so size changes,
    permission changes, etc. affect it.  It's *not* the time the file was
    created; most UN*Xes don't provide that.  Newer versions of FreeBSD,
    NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS do, but other UN*Xes don't appear to.
    
    On Windows, at least according to Microsoft's documentation, st_ctime
    *is* the creation time.  Hopefully that's not the result of confusion on
    the part of somebody at Microsoft.
