.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility sets the modification and access times of files to the
|
|
current time of day.
|
|
If the file doesn't exist, it is created with default permissions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Change the access time of the file.
|
|
The modification time of the file is not changed unless the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Do not create the file if it does not exist.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not treat this as an error.
|
|
No error messages are displayed and the exit value is not affected.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Attempt to force the update, even if the file permissions do not
|
|
currently permit it.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Change the modification time of the file.
|
|
The access time of the file is not changed unless the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Use the access and modifications times from the specified file
|
|
instead of the current time of day.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Change the access and modification times to the specified time.
|
|
The argument should be in the form
|
|
.Dq [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]

where each pair of letters represents the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
.It Ar CC
|
|
The first two digits of the year (the century).
|
|
.It Ar YY
|
|
The second two digits of the year.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
is specified, but
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
is not, a value for
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
between 69 and 99 results in a
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
value of 19.
|
|
Otherwise, a
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
value of 20 is used.
|
|
.It Ar MM
|
|
The month of the year, from 1 to 12.
|
|
.It Ar DD
|
|
the day of the month, from 1 to 31.

The minute of the hour, from 0 to 59.
|
|
.It Ar SS
|
|
The second of the minute, from 0 to 61.
|
|

|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
letter pairs are not specified, the values default to the current
|
|
year.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq SS
|
|
letter pair is not specified, the value defaults to 0.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The obsolescent form of
|
|
.Nm touch ,
|
|
where a time format is specified as the first argument, is supported.
|
|
When no
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option is specified, there are at least two arguments, and the first
|
|
argument is a string of digits either eight or ten characters in length,
|
|
the first argument is interpreted as a time specification of the form
|
|
.Dq MMDDhhmm[YY] .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq MM ,
|
|
.Dq DD ,
|
|
.Dq hh
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq mm
|
|
letter pairs are treated as their counterparts specified to the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
letter pair is in the range 39 to 99, the year is set to 1939 to 1999,
|
|
