NAME
touch - change file timestamps
...
DESCRIPTION
touch changes the access and/or modification timestamps of
each specified file. These timestamps are changed to the
current time, unless the -r option is specified, in which
case they are changed to the corresponding timestamps of
the file ref_file, or the -t option is specified, in which
case they are changed to the specified time. Both times
are changed when neither or both of the -a and -m options
are given. Only the access or only the modification time
is changed when one of the options -a and -m is given. If
the file did not exist yet, it is created (as an empty
file with mode 0666, modified by the umask), unless the -c
option is given.
The duckie already exists... I think touching it will just be like asking it for the time or telling it the time... maybe not that appropriate for a squeek, but a quack. |
