DESCRIPTION
Touch
attempts to set the modified date of each
file.

exists,
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.
The
-f
option will attempt to force the touch
in spite of read and write permissions on a
file.
