Support birth time

[whatisaphone]

Right now it looks like nnn supports three timestamps (shift-t)

'a'ccess / 'c'hange / 'm'od [m]

But modern Linux supports four types of timestamps:

$ stat foo
Access: 2025-01-22 12:44:05.336621964 -0500
Modify: 2025-01-22 12:44:05.336621964 -0500
Change: 2025-01-22 12:44:05.336621964 -0500
 Birth: 2025-01-22 12:44:05.336621964 -0500

Could nnn add support for 'b'irth?

Could nnn add support for 'b'irth?

It's not a portable thing. And I don't see glibc exposing it either. So no, probably not.

glibc exposes it through statx since glibc 2.28 (2018).

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-08/msg00000.html

The statx function has been added, a variant of the fstatat64 function with an additional flags argument. If there is no direct kernel support for statx, glibc provides basic stat support based on the fstatat64 function.

I mean exposing it through stat.
statx is non-portable: https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Performance#rejected-options
