[Boost-users] boost::filesystem::path - where are the attributes?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not, but I couldn't find anything in the filesystem documentation that allows one to retrieve file/directory attributes such as: Date created/last accessed/last modified Hidden System Read Only Link Etc. I'm particularly interested in portable file date accessors (hoping to find methods in the path class returning boost::posix_time::ptime). Are there any known workarounds?
