time of apr_file_copy destination

["Manfred Schuh (CESOFT GmbH, Bielefeld)" <sc...@cesoft.de>]

hi,

if I copy a file using apr_file_copy the destination file has the actual
time as creation time.
I would have expected the time being the same as the source file as e.g. as
WIN32 CopyFile does?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

It doesn't. :-) The creation time of the copy is always the current
time, but the modification time is the same as the source's. It's quite
possible on Windows to have a file that looks like it was created after
it was modified.
