Unsure why access time on a directory isn't changing
Hello... And thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer me
I was trying to work out the differences between displaying modify, access, and change times with the 'ls' command. Everything seems in order when I look at files, but the access time on a directory doesn't seem to change when I expect it too.
I'm sure I must have the concept misunderstood with a directory... But when I 'cd' to a directory like 'Downloads' or do an 'ls' to view it's contents... And then look at it's last access time with 'ls -ldu' or 'stat'... It does not change
It has changed when I wasn't paying attention and has a date/time from yesterday... I just don't understand what would caused it to change
Can someone straighten me out here? THANKS!
