Linux touch命令

[root@localhost john]# touch --help
使用方法: touch [OPTION]... FILE...
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h
is supplied.

A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to
change the times of the file associated with standard output.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -a                     change only the access time（只修改文件的访问时间）
  -c, --no-create        do not create any files（不创建任何文件）
  -d, --date=STRING      parse STRING and use it instead of current time（使用time-date格式替换文件的时间）
  -f                     (ignored)
  -h, --no-dereference   affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
                         file (useful only on systems that can change the
                         timestamps of a symlink)
  -m                     change only the modification time
  -r, --reference=FILE   use this file's times instead of current time
  -t STAMP               use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time（使用[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]格式修改文件的当前时间）
  --time=WORD            change the specified time:
                           WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to -a
                           WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to -m
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Note that the -d and -t options accept different time-date formats.

注意：-d和-t选项接受不同的time-date格式.

touch命令用于修改文件的访问时间个更新时间，不常用。

可以用touch文件创建文件：

[root@localhost test]# ls -l
total 0
[root@localhost test]# touch aa.txt
[root@localhost test]# ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 10 17:55 aa.txt
