getFileTime :: HANDLE -> IO (FILETIME, FILETIME, FILETIME)
I suppose that means getFileTime takes a file handle (with type HANDLE) and returns an IO type with CreationTime LastAccessTime LastWriteTime [3].
The thing is I don't know how to get a HANDLE type. I understand I can get a file handle by opening it. I've been trying the following:
openFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO Handle fh <- openFile "myfile.hs" ReadMode
Yes, the case is significant and that means that Handle and HANDLE aren't the same, apparently HANDLE is specific to the win32 api (which I don't know well), a rapid inspection of System.Win32.File seems to reveal that the only function to get an HANDLE is createFile which has a ton of parameters you'll need to set carefully to avoid overwriting your existing file (you should probably define another function with most of these already fixed for convenience) but should do the trick. Good luck. -- Jedaï
