README for the `filedate' package
Access and Compare LaTeX File Info and Modification Dates
(C) Uwe Lueck 2012-11-06
`filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX
source file according to its \ProvidesFile, \ProvidesPackage,
or \ProvidesClass entry -- the "info date" --, as well as to
its modification date according to \pdffilemoddate if the
latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare
the "info date" with the modification date, with "today"'s
date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica-
tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose
the effect of comparisons (error vs. "notice", reference date
characterization). Thus updating the "info date" ("date con-
sistency") of a source file may be ensured by a test during
typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script.
