NAMEtouch - change file timestampsSYNOPSIStouch [OPTION]... FILE...DESCRIPTIONUpdate the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h is supplied. A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to change the times of the file associated with standard output. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
Note that the -d and -t options accept different time-date formats. GNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/> Report touch translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/> DATE STRINGThe --date=STRING is a mostly free format human readable date string such as "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or even "next Thursday". A date string may contain items indicating calendar date, time of day, time zone, day of week, relative time, relative date, and numbers. An empty string indicates the beginning of the day. The date string format is more complex than is easily documented here but is fully described in the info documentation.AUTHORWritten by Paul Rubin, Arnold Robbins, Jim Kingdon, David MacKenzie, and Randy Smith.COPYRIGHTCopyright © 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
