file creation date

How I can determine file creation date?
Each file has 3 date fields - atime, ctime mtime.
What does each of them mean?

Thank you.

Hi,
atime: time of last access time
ctime: time of last change
mtime: time of last modification

I hope this helps?

How I can determine that some file is older then specified date?
