The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function returns from an LO-status structure the last-modification time, in seconds, of a smart large object.

Syntax

mi_integer mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec(LO_stat)
   MI_LO_STAT *LO_stat;
LO_stat
A pointer to an LO-status structure that mi_lo_stat() allocates and fills in with status information.
Valid in client LIBMI application? Valid in user-defined routine?
Yes Yes

Usage

The mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function obtains the last-modification time from the LO-status structure that LO_stat references. The last-modification time includes changes to user data (writes to the smart large object) only. The resolution of the last-modification time that the mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function returns is number of seconds since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970. On some platforms, you can obtain the microsecond component of the last-modification time with the mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec() function.
Important: Before you call mi_lo_stat_mtime_sec(), you must initialize an LO-status structure with the mi_lo_stat() function.

For more information about the last-modification time of a smart large object or about how to use an LO-status structure, see the Informix® DataBlade® API Programmer's Guide.

Return values

>=0
The number of seconds since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970, for the last-modification time of the smart large object whose status information is in the LO-status structure that LO_stat references.
MI_ERROR
The function was not successful.
