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
