By default, both the access and modification times are set to the current time. If necessary, files will be created. I exits successfully if and only if all timestamps could be set successfully. =head2 OPTIONS I accepts the following options: =over 4 =item -a Set the access time of the specified files only, unless I<-m> is given as well. =item -c Do not create non-existing files. No warning is generated, and it will not influence the exit status. =item -f This option is ignored, and only recognized for compatibility reasons. =item -m Set the modification time of the specified files only, unless I<-a> is given as well. =item -r file Use the access and modification time of I instead of the current time. =item -t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS] Set the access and modification times to the specified time. If B is present, but B is not, then B is assumed to be 19 if B is larger than 69, and 20 otherwise. If B is not present, the current year is assumed. It should be noted that many systems cannot deal with timestamps before Jan 1, 1970 or after Jan 19, 2038. =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT The working of I is not influenced by any environment variables. =head1 BUGS I uses C to translate the time format to epoch seconds =head1 STANDARDS This I implementation is compatible with the B implementation. =head1 AUTHOR The Perl implementation of I was written by Abigail, I. =head1 COPYRIGHT and LICENSE This program is copyright by Abigail 1999.
