    SYNOPSIS
         touch [-c] file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         ############ NEXT ENTRY HAS NOT BEEN CHECKED #############

         The time of last modification is set to the current time.   This  command
         is  mostly  used  to  trick make into thinking that a file is more recent
         than it really is.  If the file being  touched  does  not  exist,  it  is
         created, unless the -c flag is present.
