Usage
file_touch(path, access_time = Sys.time(), modification_time = access_time)Arguments

The times to set, inputs will be coerced to POSIXct objects.
Examples
file_touch("foo", "2018-01-01")
file_info("foo")[c("access_time", "modification_time", "change_time", "birth_time")]
#> # A tibble: 1 × 4
