Public Struct Metadata

What's at a path, as File.Metadata found it: when it was last changed and read, and when it was made, which is Null where the OS or the disk doesn't say. IsReadOnly is whether its owner may not write it.

Examples

Local file = Try TempFile()
Try File.WriteText(file.Path, "four")
Local info = Try File.Metadata(file.Path)
Expect(info.IsFile() && info.Size == 4 && !info.IsReadOnly)
Try file.Close()
