touch(1)                         DG/UX 5.4.2                        touch(1)


NAME
       touch - update access and modification times of a file

SYNOPSIS
       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).
