A common facili= ty, like stat(2) for files, would be nice. Some attributes are mentioned explicitly in the elisp info: name, file name= (as appropriate), modification time, read-only-ness are mentioned in the c= hapter on buffers. Others are scattered throughout the documentation, defau= lt-directory, for example. The attribute I'm most interested in at the moment is the buffer's creation= time, but I can't find such a thing.
