touch:- This can be used to create a file with size 0 and
to change the time stamp of a file.
cat:- This can be used to display the content of a
file,concatinate etc.
Ex :
# cat Example.txt
AIX
HPUX
SOLARIS
LINUX
touch command changes the modified date and time of the
file.
before use touch command
#ls -ltr
-rw-r--r-- 1 s file1 02 Nov 29 19:24 Example.txt
# touch Example.txt
#ls -ltr
-rw-r--r-- 1 s file1 02 Nov 29 19:43 Example.txt
