- This manual page documents the GNU version of ttoouucchh.
- ttoouucchh changes the access and modification times of each
- given file to the current time. Files that do not exist
- are created empty. If the first file name given would be
- a valid argument to the _-_t option and no timestamp is
- given with any of the _-_d, _-_r, or _-_t options and the _-_-
- argument is not given, that argument is interpreted as the
- time for the other files instead of as a filename.
-
- If changing both the access and modification times to the
- current time, ttoouucchh can change the timestamps for files
- that the user running it does not own but has write per-
- mission for. Otherwise, the user must own the files.
