ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

After experimenting with the First.py script and attending this weeks lecture, you are to modify$/$extend the First.py script as follows:

$1)$ Allow the user to specify a directory to process using the built$-$in Python input$()$ function

$2)$ Process each entry in that directory and report:

Full$-$Filepath, FileSize, MAC Times for each directory entry

Converting each MAC epoch value into human readable form

$3)$ Catch any errors when attempting to process files and report them

HINTS

PROMPT USER FOR ENTRY

directory $=$ input$("$Enter a Directory to Process: $")$

CONVERT EPOCH VALUES TO HUMAN READABLE UTC TIME

Epoch$=$ macTimes$[0]$

utcTime$=$ time.strftime$("\%$Y$-\%$m$-\%$d $\%$H:$\%$M:$\%$S$",$ time.gmtime$($modEpoch$))$

print$($utcTime$)$ The following pics are the started code $\text{'}\text{'}$ IMPORT STANDARD LIBRARIES

def GetFileMetaData$($fileName$)$:

obtain filesystem metadata

from the specified file

specifically, filesize and MAC Times

return True, None, filesize and MacTimeList

try:

metaData $=$ os$.$stat$($fileName$)$ # Use the stat method to obtain meta data

filesize $=$ metaData.st$\_$size # Extract filesize and MAC Times

timeLastAccess $=$ metaData.st$\_$atime

timeLastModified $=$ metaData.st$\_$mtime

timecreated $=$ metaData.st$\_$ctime

macTimeList $=[$timeLastModified$,$ timeLastAccess, timecreated$]$ # Group the MAC Times in a List

return True, None, filesize, macTimeList
