Hello,
I have created a .txt file on desktop. In default file manager under list
view (manually add "Created" to column) birth time = creation time is
displayed.
But when I do with `stat` command it shows me this. Birth entry is not
displayed, it shows an empty character `-`.

Birth: -
The problem can be fixed when using coreutils 8.31 and later, because
since version 8.31 `stat` command can display the creation time when the
file system stores it.
