+## Description
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+`touch` updates the last access and last modification times of all files
|
|
|
|
+specified in `path` to the current time.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Unless `-c` is specified, `touch` creates a regular empty file for a `path`

+that does not exist.

|
|
+* `-a`: Change access time of file
|
|
|
|
+* `-c`: Do not create a file if it does not exist
|
|
|
|
+* `-m`: Change modification time of file
|
|
|
|
+* `-r`: Use time of file specified by reference path instead of current time
|
|
|
|
+* `-t`: Use specified time in format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS] instead of current
|
|
|
|
+time
|
|
|
|
+* `-d`: Use specified datetime in formats YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:SS[.frac][tz] or
|
|

+## Examples
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
+# modification attributes set to the current time:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+# Update a file called 'somefile' with last access and last modification

|
|
|
|
+$ touch -c -d '2009-05-13 14:49:30' somefile
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
+# time, and the last modification time remains unchanged as long as the file
