touch -- touch a file's last-mod date, backup bit, invisible bit, or disable bit syntax: touch [-b y|n] [-d y|n] [-i y|n] ex: touch myfile touch =:bin -iy touch ?:cda -dn touch ? -bn 'touch' with no options sets a file's modification date/time to the current date and time without actually modifying the file's contents. Wildcards are allowed. This is intended for use with recently-created files that, for some reason, are not properly date- and time-stamped. (Some DOS 3.3-to- ProDOS conversion programs, for example, stamp files with an invalid date and time.) The -b option lets you set or clear the "needs backup" bit on a file. Use -by to set the bit or -bn to clear it. See also 'copy', 'update', 'cat', and 'ffind'. The -i option lets you set or clear a file's "invisible" bit. Invisible files don't show up in Davex catalog listings unless the catalog command's -i option is used. The "invisible" bit has been recently defined by Apple, and other programs may or may not pay attention to the invisibility of a file. The -d option lets you ENABLE or DISABLE certain types of Apple IIgs files. A disabled file is not loaded automatically at boot time. The filetypes that can be disabled are $B6 (permanent init file), $B7 (temporary init file), $B8 (new desk accessory), $B9 (classic desk accessory), $BB (driver), $BC (generic load file), and $BD (GS/OS file system translator). [Bit 15 of the auxiliary type for these filetypes is the disable bit.]
