I have the same questions as this post
Only that my question is on the Linux platform
I have a directory in my folder
and I don’t know which program has created it
Is it possible to know ?
Thanks
Same answer applies, unless the file itself has metadata like some .doc files and such that contains the information you cannot know what created the file (unless you create a kernel module to intercept block requests to create new files and check what application submitted the request but that is probably not what you want to do).
