Hello!
Well, I need an alternative to be able to delete files not accessed for more than 5 minutes.
I already know how to do this using the system programs, but wanted something done in C++ once, to avoid bottlenecks.
Is there any way to do this?
(if not understand, sorry, online translator)
Jump to Postdeleting the files is simple -- just call remove() function. finding out which ones have not been accessed during the previous 5 minutes is more problematic. By "accessed" do you mean opened for reading, writing or either?

I wanted to make a simple cache using tmpfs, but as is too slow, I give up until I find a more efficient way.
But the idea was to get the access time of file, the last time it was read.
