Using Touch - Command Line Options

Touch displays the last <count> lines of each of the files listed on the line. If no files are listed, display the last <count> lines of the standard input.

<count> defaults to 10.

touch [ -c? ] [ mmddhhmm[yy] ] file1 ...

The options for Touch are:

-c: Prevents touch from creating files that did not previously exist

If an argument in the form mmddhhmm[yy] is passed to touch, the last-write time of each file listed on the command line is set to the specified date and time. If the date and time are not given on the command line, the last-write times of the arguments are set to the current system time. The argument mmddhhmm[yy] is formed as follows:

•The first mm is a two digit number (between 01 and 12) for the month.

•The dd is a two digit number (between 01 and 31) for the day of the month.

•The hh is a two digit number (between 00 and 23) for the hour. Note that a 24 hour clock is assumed.

•The second mm is a two digit number (between 00 and 59) for the minute.

•The yy, if present, is for setting the year. Years between 80 and 99 are understood to be between 1980 and 1999. Years between 00 and 79 are assumed to be for the years 2000 to 2079.
