From ab6245bdeed46e1ff3bd378690066abd2ed0f2ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Strapetz Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2022 11:17:28 +0000 Subject: test-lib: introduce API for verifying file mtime Add functions `test_set_magic_mtime` and `test_is_magic_mtime` which can be used to (re)set the mtime of a file to a predefined ("magic") timestamp, then perform some operations and finally check for mtime changes of the file. The core implementation follows the suggestion from the mailing list [1].
