I am aware of this related question.
What I want is just the date and time of the last modification for any file inside a directory (recursively, the whole tree). Is there any fast way to do this for large directories?
Alternatively, I could also use a check telling me whether there was any modification after a given date.

To list the timestamp of all files in the folder :
find . -type f -printf '%t\n'
To get a unix timestamp :
find . -type f -printf '%T@\n'
To list the timestamp of all files that were modified within the last 5 days
find . -type f -mtime -5 -printf '%t\n'
Note : all those commands are recursives
