TOUCH(1)                     User Commands                    TOUCH(1)

 

NAME 名称

    touch - change file timestamps 修改文件时间戳

 

SYNOPSIS 大纲(语法)

    touch [OPTION]... FILE...

 

DESCRIPTION 说明

    Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

    更新每个文件的访问时间和修改时间为当前时间。

 

    A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h is supplied.

    除非指定-c或-h参数，否则当FILE参数所指向的文件不存在时，将创建一个空文件。

 

    A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to change the times of the file associated with standard output.

 

    Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

    对于长选项必须的参数，对于短选项也是必须的。

 

    -a

        change only the access time

        只修改访问时间。

 

    -c, --no-create

        do not create any files

        不创建任何文件。

 

    -d, --date=STRING

        parse STRING and use it instead of current time

        解析STRING，并使用它代替当前时间。

 

    -f     (ignored)

 

    -h, --no-dereference

        affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can change the timestamps of a symlink)

        只影响符号连接文件本身，而不影响任何被引用的文件(通常只针对可以改变符号连接文件时间戳的系统)。

 

    -m

        change only the modification time

        只修改'修改时间。

 

    -r, --reference=FILE

        use this file's times instead of current time

        使用此文件的时间代替当前时间。

 

    -t STAMP

        use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time

        使用[[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]格式字符串代替当前时间。

 

    --time=WORD

        change the specified time: WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to -a; WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to -m

        修改指定的时间：当WORD=access, atime, or use时，等价于-a；当WORD=modify or mtime时，等价于-m。

 

    --help display this help and exit

        显示此命令的帮助信息并退出。

 

    --version

        output version information and exit

DATE STRING

    The --date=STRING is a mostly free format human readable date string such as "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or even "next Thursday". A date string may contain items indicating calendar date, time of day, time zone, day of week, relative time, relative date, and numbers. An empty string indicates the beginning of the day. The date string format is more complex than is easily documented here but is fully described in the info documentation.

    --date=STRING指定的字符串通常是人类能够轻易识别的绝大多数*格式的字符串。例如："Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800"或"2004-02-29 16:21:42"甚至"next Thursday"。日期字符串可以包含日历日期、时间、时区、周、相对时间、相对日期、数字等项目。空字符串表示当前天的开始。日期字符串格式比这里容易记录的复杂得多，但在info文档中有完全描述。

案例：

一、查看文件详细时间信息方式

[root@user test]# ll
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3072 Mar  6 21:22 test
[root@user test]# stat test 
  File: 'test'
  Size: 3072      	Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fd01h/64769d	Inode: 65556       Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2017-03-06 21:22:44.693495766 +0800
Modify: 2017-03-06 21:22:44.693495766 +0800
Change: 2017-03-06 22:40:59.432269895 +0800

[root@user test]#

 

二、修改test的访问时间为‘2017-03-06 20:00:00’

[root@user test]# touch -a -d '2017-03-06 20:00:00' test 
[root@user test]# stat test 
  File: 'test'
  Size: 3072      	Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fd01h/64769d	Inode: 65556       Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2017-03-06 20:00:00.000000000 +0800
Modify: 2017-03-06 21:22:44.693495766 +0800
Change: 2017-03-06 22:43:48.309459980 +0800
