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

    NAME
         touch - update date last modified of a file

    SYNOPSIS
         touch [ -c ] [ -f ] file ...

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