>Description:
"birthtime" always corresponds with the comment /* time of file creation */ in /usr/include/sys/stat.h.

man stat mentions ONE time "birth time of the inode":
The time file was last accessed or modified, of when the
inode was last changed, or the birth time of the inode.

There is no further explanation of the meaning and the correlation to the "time of file creation".
