Touch


Description
Windows version of the Linux tools "touch" to change times of files (full program = 5.5KB).

Usage
touch.exe [-hxamcDsvq] [-r ref_file|-t time|-d date_time] -- <file_1> [file_N]
  -h : Show this help
  -x : Modify creation time
  -a : Modify access time
  -m : Modify modification time
  -c : Do not create file if not found
  -r : Use a file or directory as a reference time source
  -D : If target doesn't exist, create a directory
  -s : Browse sub-directories
  -v : Output the result of every file processed
  -q : Silent mode, no error is displayed (disable '-v')
  -t : Use time [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS] instead of today
  -d : Use date_time [[YYYY-]MM-DD][Thh:mm[:ss]] instead of today
  -- : Finish options, followed by the file list
The options '-r', '-d' and '-t' can not be used simultaneously.
By default, all times will be modified (creation, access and modification).
