Bug #3251: file ctime not updated as documented on chmod(), link()
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3251#change-13959

* Author: tonyc
* Status: Resolved
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: VFS subsystem
* Target version: 
----------------------------------------
The stat(2) man page claims:

     st_ctim       Time when file status was last changed (inode data
                   modification).  Changed by the chmod(2), chown(2), link(2),
                   mknod(2), rename(2), unlink(2), utimes(2) and write(2)
                   system calls.

but neither link() nor chmod() update ctim.tv_sec:

  $ pwd
  /home/tony/dev/perl/git/dflybugs
  $ cc -olink_ctime link_ctime.c
  $ ./link_ctime
  FAIL: chmod didn't update ctime
