I have locked files by one process and I need to get the date of that file from another process.

How can I do that without using CreateFile to open it to get a handle. (file is locked so this wouldn’t work)

GetFileTime is done by using CreateFile.

    Try stat(). It works on the filename itself and doesn’t require an open handle.
