NAME
touch - update date last modified of a file
SYNOPSIS
touch [ -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.
