TOUCH(1)                GENIX Programmer's Manual                TOUCH(1)



      NAME
           touch - update date last modified of a file

      SYNOPSIS
           touch [ -c ] file ...

      DESCRIPTION
           Touch attempts to set the modified date of each file. This  is  done
           by reading a character from the file and writing it back.

           If a file does not exist, an attempt  will  be  made  to  create  it
           unless the -c option is specified.
