Answer / deepti shrivastava
touch :- used to change the time stamps
Syntax :- touch options expression filename(s)
where expression consists of eight digit number
using the format MMDDhhmm(month,day,hr & min)
E.g :- $ touch 03091245 emp.lst ; ls -l emp.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 kumar metal 870 Mar 09 12:45 emp.lst
The -m & -a options chng the modifications & access times.
$ touch -m 02281030 emp.lst ; ls -l emp.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 kumar metal 870 Feb 28 10:30 emp.lst

Answer / atul khachane
Yes. Touch command update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.
-d, --date=STRING
parse STRING and use it instead of current time
-t STAMP
use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
-d and -t options accept different time-date formats.

Answer / phil
All of the above are wrong. 'touch' can only change the
creation time to the current time. touch -t [date] does not
change creation time.
