File Metadata
Tiny baby library for getting file metadata. Originally written to work for a GameMaker game a friend is creating.
Table of Contents
Installation
- Download the
.yympsfile from the latest release. - That's it! You can now import the package into your project by dragging it into your GameMaker window.
Alternative Installation
You can also use the dynamic library itself by extracting the .yymps file as a zip file, and adding the .dll/.dylib/.so file found within to your project manually by following this guide (skip the bits about Visual Studio and such).

General Notes
- If a function encounters an error, it will return -1.0 and log to stderr.
- Timestamps are in seconds, not milliseconds.
- Internally, functions are prefixed with
file_rather thanfilemeta_, so if you are using the alternative installation method, the mapping isfilemeta_creation_date->file_creation_date, etc.
