        SYNTAX

        touch [ -amc ] [ mmddhhmm[yy] ] files


        DESCRIPTION

        Touch updates the access and modification times of each argument.
        You must be the owner of the file or superuser to access an
        existing file.  The filename is created if it does not exist.  If
        no time is specified (see date(1)), the current time is used.
        The -a and -m options update only the access or modification
        times respectively (default is -am).  The -c option silently
        prevents touch from creating the file if it did not previously
        exist.

        The return code from touch is the number of files for which the
        times could not be successfully modified (including files that
        did not exist and were not created).
