我对术语文件修改时间和文件更改时间感到困惑。任何人都可以帮助使其更加清晰吗？

mtime是修改时间内容已更改。

ctime是状态更改时间的权限，所有权以及内容。

维基百科说：

* mtime: time of last modification (ls -l),
* ctime: time of last status change (ls -lc) and
* atime: time of last access (ls -lu).

  
  Note that ctime is not the time of
  file creation. Writing to a file
  changes its mtime, ctime, and atime. A
  change in file permissions or file
  ownership changes its ctime and atime.
  Reading a file changes its atime. File
  systems mounted with the noatime
  option do not update the atime on
  reads, and the relatime option
  provides for updates only if the
  previous atime is older than the mtime
  or ctime. Unlike atime and mtime,
  ctime cannot be set with utime() (as
  used e.g. by touch); the only way to
  set it to an arbitrary value is by
  changing the system clock.
