NAME
      settime - change the access and modification dates of files

SYNOPSIS
      settime mmddhhmm[yy] [-f fname] name. . .

DESCRIPTION
      settime sets the access and modification dates for one or more files.
      The dates are set to the specified date, or to the access and
      modification dates of the file specified via -f.  Exactly one of these
      methods must be used to specify the new date(s).  The first mm is the
      month number; dd is the day number in the month; hh is the hour number
      (24 hour system); the second mm is the minute number; yy is the last two
      digits of the year and is optional.  For example:

            settime 1008004583 ralph pete

      sets the access and modification dates of files ralph and pete to Oct. 8,
      12:45 AM, 1983.  Another example:

            settime -f ralph john

      This sets the access and modification dates of the file john to those of
      the file ralph.

NOTES
      Use of touch in place of settime is encouraged.
