@defun visited-file-modtime
This function returns the current buffer's recorded last file
modification time, as a list of the form @code{(@var{high} @var{low}
-@var{microsec} @var{picosec})}.

+@code{file-attributes} uses to return time values; @pxref{File
+Attributes}.)
If the buffer has no recorded last modification time, this function
returns zero. This case occurs, for instance, if the buffer is not
too. For instance, in a Dired buffer listing a directory, it returns
the last modification time of that directory, as recorded by Dired.
-For a new buffer visiting a not yet existing file, @var{high} is
-@minus{}1 and @var{low} is 65535, that is,

This function updates the buffer's record of the last modification time
of the visited file, to the value specified by @var{time} if @var{time}
@code{other-buffer} to return. The argument can be either a buffer
itself or the name of one.

current buffer. In addition, if the current buffer is displayed in the
selected window, this makes sure that the window is either deleted or
