linux - What does the date of the directory listed by the ll command mean?

Question

It doesn’t feel like the creation time of this directory, nor the time when the files in this directory were last modified.

Answer 1

ll should be an alias for ls -l.

man ls Then search for --time and you can see that it displays the modification time (mtime) by default.

For directories, it is the last modification time of this directory. And what's in the catalog? File item. That is, the file metainformation you will see when lsing a directory. So the mtime update of the directory means that the files in it are created, deleted, renamed, permissions updated...

Answer 2

linux does not have the ll command, enter type ll to see what the alias is. Generally speaking, it should be ls -l
