+The \tezt{getfiledate} package fetches from the system the date of last modification or opening of a resident file. It is based on an idea by Heiko Oberdiek \citeurl{oberdiek@uni-freiburg.de} that appeared in February 2009 on the discussion/newsgroup website \url{comp.text.tex}, namely, using the \tezt{\string\pdffilemoddate} command of pdf\TeX. My contribution has been to create a user-friendly interface for obtaining and presenting the needed filedate in several formats.
+}}}
+\end{center}
+
+\section{User interface}
+The package may be loaded without options as in
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\usepackage{getfiledate}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+or with options as in
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\usepackage[option=value]{getfiledate}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+The options include the filename for which you want to print the date of last modification. The options and their default values are described in section~\ref{PackageOptions}. It is advisable to first load the package by \tezt{\string\usepackage\{getfiledate\}} and then use the macro \tezt{\string\getfiledate} to dynamically determine and print the date of last modification of the filename. This macro sets the various options.
+
+\section{Package options\label{PackageOptions}}
+The package options are listed in Table~\ref{tab:Package-options} below.

+\section{Examples}
+\example{}
+
+The simplest example is to use the \tezt{\string\getfiledate} macro in the following way:
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={dir/filename.ext}}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+for which the default values of the package options will be used. For the sample file \temt{test1.tex}, the outcome of this will be:
+
+\getfiledate{file={test1.tex}}
+
+\bigskip
+You can, however, use package options to customize the format of the result. The following examples illustrate the most important issues in using this package.
+
+\example{}
+%\section{Example}
+The example in this section was obtained with the following settings. There are values specified for \tezt{head} and \tezt{foot}.
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test1.tex},head=.1\baselineskip,
+  foot=2\baselineskip,markercolor=magenta,filenamecolor=brown,
+  datecolor=orange,inlinespace=.5em,marker=$\blacktriangleright$,
+  separator
+}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome of this is:
+\getfiledate{file={test1.tex},head=.1\baselineskip,
+  foot=2\baselineskip,
+  markercolor=magenta,filenamecolor=brown,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker=$\blacktriangleright$,separator
+}
+
+If you don't need the \tezt{marker}, you can set \tezt{marker=\{\}} as follows
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test1.tex},head=\baselineskip,
+  foot=\baselineskip,width=.6\hsize,filenamecolor=brown,
+  prefix=The date of final changes to file,
+  datecolor=orange,inlinespace=.5em,boxed=false,
+  separator=$\spadesuit$,separatorcolor=green,
+  |color(red)marker={}|color(bmagenta),align=center
+}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+to get:
+\getfiledate{file={test1.tex},head=\baselineskip,
+  foot=\baselineskip,width=.6\hsize,
+  prefix=The date of final changes to file,
+  marker={},filenamecolor=brown,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,align=center,boxed=false,
+  separator=$\spadesuit$,separatorcolor=green
+}
+If you simply remove \tezt{marker} from the key-value list, the \tezt{marker} will retain the last value you set for it rather than the default value (which is nil). 
+
+The user should note:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The inclusion of the \tezt{width} (\tezt{=0.6\string\hsize}) in the above example. The \tezt{width} will maintain this value until it is changed again, as in the following example.
+
+\item The change of \tezt{prefix} here. The default value of \tezt{prefix} is \tezt{The date of last modification of file}. The \tezt{prefix} will maintain this value until it is changed in the next call (see the next example).
+
+\item The use of the key-value \tezt{align=center} above. The key \tezt{align} can assume values of \tezt{center}, \tezt{left}, \tezt{right}, and \tezt{justified}. Any other value for \tezt{align} will be rejected by the package.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\example{}
+%\section{Example}
+The example in this section was obtained with the following settings:
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\colorlet{redgreen}{red!55!green!65}
+
+\getfiledate{file={test2.tex},head=0ex,foot=\baselineskip,
+  prefix,width=\hsize,markercolor=magenta,filenamecolor=red,
+  datecolor=violet,inlinespace=.5em,marker=$\triangleright$,
+  separator=$\clubsuit$,separatorcolor=redgreen
+}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome is:
+\getfiledate{file={test2.tex},head=0ex,
+  foot=1ex,width=\hsize,prefix,
+  markercolor=magenta,filenamecolor=red,datecolor=violet,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker=$\triangleright$,
+  separator=$\clubsuit$,separatorcolor=red!55!green!65
+}
+Here we simply passed the \tezt{prefix} without value so that its default value was used.

+  datecolor=orange,inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\star$},

+  inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},
+  markercolor=cyan,separator=$\heartsuit$,separatorcolor
+}|color(black) % Use default separatorcolor
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome is:
+\getfiledate{file={test4.tex},head=\baselineskip,foot=2ex,
+  markercolor=cyan,filenamecolor=blue,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},
+  markercolor=cyan,separator=$\heartsuit$,separatorcolor
+}

+The example in this section was obtained with the following settings:
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=1ex,foot=1ex,
+  markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,
+  datecolor=orange,inlinespace=.5em,
+  marker={$\blacktriangleright$},separator={}
+}|color(black) % The separator is nil here.
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome of this is:
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=1ex,foot=1ex,
+  markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},
+  separator={}
+}
+
+\example{}
+%\section{Example}
+Instead of keeping \tezt{head} and \tezt{foot}, you may instead decide to frame your result, as follows:
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=.5\baselineskip,
+  foot=.5\baselineskip,width=12.5cm,framesep=5pt,framerule=.4pt,
+  align=center,markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,
+  datecolor=orange,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},
+  separator=$\heartsuit$,boxed
+}|color(black) % marker has no effect here.
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome is:
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=.5\baselineskip,foot=.5\baselineskip,
+  width=12.5cm,framesep=3pt,framerule=.4pt,align=center,
+  markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,datecolor=orange,
+  marker={$\blacktriangleright$},separator=$\heartsuit$,
+  boxed
+}
+
+The boolean option \tezt{boxed} has the default value of \tezt{true} when listed in the key-value list. If you set the key \tezt{boxed(=true)} in one call to the \tezt{\string\getfiledate} macro, and you don't want the filedate to be boxed subsequently, you have to turn it off (\ie, enter \tezt{boxed=false}) in the next call to \tezt{\string\getfiledate}. The choice \tezt{boxed(=true)} automatically turns off \tezt{marker} irrespective of whether or not you have submitted  a value to this key in \tezt{\string\getfiledate} macro. In the above example, the reader will notice that the setting \tezt{marker=\string\blacktriangleright} has no effect on the outcome.
+
+For the boxed filedates, you can set the options \tezt{framesep} and \tezt{framerule} (equivalents of \LaTeX's native \temt{\string\fboxsep} and \temt{\string\fboxrule}) as follows:
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=\baselineskip,
+  foot=1ex,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},markercolor=purple,
+  filenamecolor=blue,width=.9\hsize,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,align=left,boxed,separator=$\blacklozenge$,
+  |color(red)framesep=5pt,framerule=2pt|color(bmagenta)
+} |color(black) % marker has no effect here.
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome of this is:
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=\baselineskip,foot=1ex,
+  markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,datecolor=orange,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},width=.9\hsize,
+  align=left,boxed,framesep=5pt,framerule=2pt,separator=$\blacklozenge$
+}
+
+The default values of \tezt{framesep} and \tezt{framerule} are 3pt and 0.4pt (\LaTeX's native values for \temt{\string\fboxsep} and \temt{\string\fboxrule}). The user should note that the keys \tezt{framesep} and \tezt{framerule} should, of course, be submitted without backslashes (\eg, \tezt{framesep=5pt} and \tezt{framerule=2pt}).
+
+You can change the box color as in
+\begin{gfdverbatim}
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=\baselineskip,
+  foot=\baselineskip,markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,
+  datecolor=orange,width=8cm,align=right,boxed,framesep=5pt,
+  framerule=2pt,separator=$\Diamond$,|color(red)framecolor=green|color(bmagenta)
+}
+\end{gfdverbatim}
+
+The outcome of this is:
+\getfiledate{file={test5.tex},head=\baselineskip,foot=\baselineskip,
+  markercolor=purple,filenamecolor=blue,datecolor=orange,width=8cm,
+  inlinespace=.5em,marker={$\blacktriangleright$},align=right,
+  boxed,framesep=5pt,framerule=2pt,separator=$\Diamond$,
+  framecolor=green
+}
+
+This box color will remain in force until it is changed again. The default value of \tezt{framecolor} is \tezt{black}.
