You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

These POSIX links can be handy to dismiss any doubt: write: "Upon successful completion, where nbyte is greater than 0, write() shall mark for update the last data modification and last file status change timestamps of the file" , vs read: "Upon successful completion, where nbyte is greater than 0, read() shall mark for update the last data access timestamp of the file, and shall return the number of bytes read" : no ctime for read.
