+of files.  The files may be @code{.tex} files, images or other files (as long
+as they can be found by LaTeX).  It uses the @code{\\pdffilemoddate} primitive
+of pdfLaTeX to find the file modification date as PDF date string, parses the
+string and returns the value to the user.  The package will also work for DVI
+output with recent versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLaTeX in DVI
+mode.  The functionality is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster
+but non-expandable ones.")
