TOUCH(1)TOUCH(1)NAMEtouch - update date last modified of a file
SYNOPSIStouch [ -c ] [ -f ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Touch attempts to set the modified date of each file. If a file
exists, this is done by reading a character from the file and writing
it back. If a file does not exist, an attempt will be made to create
it unless the -c option is specified. The -f option will attempt to
force the touch in spite of read and write permissions on a file.
