Include . files   - ls -a
Don't recurse     - DON'T include -R
Inode change time - ls -lc
Last modified     - ls -l
Last accessed     - ls -lu

Note that there is no "creation time" - it's actually just the inode change
time. So it will change when you make a new link to the file, for example,
or when you set any of the file's times other than last modified, with
`touch'.
