Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The _dos_getftime routine uses system call 0x57 to get the date
     and time at which the file identified by <handle> was last
     written. The file must have been opened with a call to _dos_open
     or _dos_creat prior to calling _dos_getftime. The date and time
     are returned in the words pointed to by <date> and <time>. The
     values appear in the DOS date and time format.
 
     See: ◄DOS Time/Date Format►
 
     Return Value
 
     If successful, the function returns 0. Otherwise, it returns the
     DOS error code and sets errno to EBADF, indicating that an invalid
     file handle was passed.
