GetLastModTime

Retrieves the last modification time for the data in this Cyberdog stream.

ODTime GetLastModTime ();

return value

The time the stream was last modified.

DISCUSSION

This method should return the time the data downloaded by this stream object was last modified. You can determine whether the last modification time is available by calling the IsLastModTimeAvailable method.

GetLastModTime should return the constant kCDLastModTimeUnknowable if the last modification time will never be available or if last modification time does not make sense for the protocol implemented by the stream. GetLastModTime should return the constant kCDLastModTimeUnknown if the last modification time is not known, but may be known at a later time.

If you subclass CyberStream, you must override this method. Your override method must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
