NAME

touch - update date last modified of a file

SYNOPSIS

touch [ -c ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

Touch attempts to set the modified date of each file. 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.
