.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility sets the modification and access times of files.
|
|
If any file does not exist, it is created with default permissions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
changes both modification and access times. The
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flags may be used to select the access time or the modification time
|
|
individually.
|
|
Selecting both is equivalent to the default.
|
|
By default, the timestamps are set to the current time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
flags explicitly specify a different time, and the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag specifies to set the times those of the specified file.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
flag adjusts the values by a specified amount.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Adjust the access and modification time stamps for the file by the
|
|
specified value.
|
|
This flag is intended for use in modifying files with incorrectly set
|
|
time stamps.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument is of the form
|
|
.Dq [-][[hh]mm]SS
|
|
where each pair of letters represents the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Ar -
|
|
Make the adjustment negative: the new time stamp is set to be before
|
|
the old one.
|
|
.It Ar hh
|
|
The number of hours, from 00 to 99.
|
|
.It Ar mm
|
|
The number of minutes, from 00 to 59.
|
|
.It Ar SS
|
|
The number of seconds, from 00 to 59.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
flag implies the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
flag: if any file specified does not exist, it will be silently ignored.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Change the access time of the file.
|
|
The modification time of the file is not changed unless the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Do not create the file if it does not exist.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not treat this as an error.
|
|
No error messages are displayed and the exit value is not affected.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Change the access and modification times to the specified time instead
|
|
of the current time of day.
|
|
The argument is of the form
|
|
.Dq YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:SS[.frac][tz]
|
|
where the letters represent the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Ar YYYY
|
|
The year.
|
|
.It Ar MM
|
|
The month of the year, from 01 to 12.
|
|
.It Ar DD
|
|
The day of the month, from 01 to 31.
|
|
.It Ar T
|
|
The letter
|
|
.Li T
|
|
or a space.
|
|
.It Ar hh
|
|
The hour of the day, from 00 to 23.
|
|
.It Ar mm
|
|
The minute of the hour, from 00 to 59.
|
|
.It Ar SS
|
|
The second of the minute, from 00 to 61.
|
|
.It Ar .frac
|
|
An optional fraction,
|
|
consisting of a period or a comma followed by one or more digits.
|
|
The number of significant digits depends on the kernel configuration and
|
|
the filesystem, and may be zero.
|
|
.It Ar tz
|
|
An optional letter
|
|
.Li Z
|
|
indicating the time is in
|
|
.Tn UTC .
|
|
Otherwise, the time is assumed to be in local time.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
If the file is a symbolic link, change the times of the link
|
|
itself rather than the file that the link points to.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
implies
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
and thus will not create any new files.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Change the modification time of the file.
|
|
The access time of the file is not changed unless the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Use the access and modifications times from the specified file
|
|
instead of the current time of day.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Change the access and modification times to the specified time instead
|
|
of the current time of day.
|
|
The argument is of the form
|
|
.Dq [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]
|
|
where each pair of letters represents the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Ar CC
|
|
The first two digits of the year (the century).
|
|
.It Ar YY
|
|
The second two digits of the year.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
is specified, but
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
is not, a value for
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
between 69 and 99 results in a
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
value of 19.
|
|
Otherwise, a
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
value of 20 is used.
|
|
.It Ar MM
|
|
The month of the year, from 01 to 12.
|
|
.It Ar DD
|
|
the day of the month, from 01 to 31.
|
|
.It Ar hh
|
|
The hour of the day, from 00 to 23.
|
|
.It Ar mm
|
|
The minute of the hour, from 00 to 59.
|
|
.It Ar SS
|
|
The second of the minute, from 00 to 61.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq CC
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
letter pairs are not specified, the values default to the current
|
|
year.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq SS
|
|
letter pair is not specified, the value defaults to 0.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The obsolescent form of
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
where a time format is specified as the first argument, is supported.
|
|
When no
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option is specified, there are at least two arguments, and the first
|
|
argument is a string of digits either eight or ten characters in length,
|
|
the first argument is interpreted as a time specification of the form
|
|
.Dq MMDDhhmm[YY] .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq MM ,
|
|
.Dq DD ,
|
|
.Dq hh
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq mm
|
|
letter pairs are treated as their counterparts specified to the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dq YY
|
|
letter pair is in the range 39 to 99, the year is set to 1939 to 1999,
|
|
otherwise, the year is set in the 21st century.
