//! Timestamps for files in Rust
//!
//! This library provides platform-agnostic inspection of the various timestamps
//! present in the standard `fs::Metadata` structure.
//!
//! # Installation
//!
//! Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! filetime = "0.1"
//! ```
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::fs;
//! use filetime::FileTime;
//!
//! let metadata = fs::metadata("foo.txt").unwrap();
//!
//! let mtime = FileTime::from_last_modification_time(&metadata);
//! println!("{}", mtime);
//!
//! let atime = FileTime::from_last_access_time(&metadata);
//! assert!(mtime < atime);
//!
//! // Inspect values that can be interpreted across platforms
//! println!("{}", mtime.unix_seconds());
//! println!("{}", mtime.nanoseconds());
//!
//! // Print the platform-specific value of seconds
//! println!("{}", mtime.seconds());
//! ```
