Re: Changing file modification timestamp

In addition to "utime", there's also the unix command-line utility "touch". If you use "touch", with no other arguments, it changes the timestamp on a file to the current time.

In particular, `touch` and `utime` match if the file already exists. The touch command is basically equivalent to: `if utime() fails, if create() succeeds, close() it (zero bytes written) else, give an error message` [download] -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
