code: def getmtime(self, path, use_sudo=False):
          
          func = use_sudo and run_as_root or self.run
          with self.settings(hide('running', 'stdout')):
              return int(func('stat -c %%Y "%(path)s" ' % locals()).strip())
docs: Return the time of last modification of path.
          The return value is a number giving the number of seconds since the epoch
  
          Same as :py:func:`os.path.getmtime()`
