Unlike the touch POSIX utility this does not create the file if it does not
exist. Use file_create() to do this if needed.
Usage
file_touch(path, access_time = Sys.time(), modification_time = access_time)Arguments
- path
A character vector of one or more paths.
- access_time, modification_time
The times to set, inputs will be coerced to POSIXct objects.
Examples
.old_wd <- setwd(tempdir())
file_create("foo")
file_touch("foo", "2018-01-01")
file_info("foo")[c("access_time", "modification_time", "change_time", "birth_time")]
#> # A tibble: 1 × 4
#> access_time modification_time change_time
#> <dttm> <dttm> <dttm>
#> 1 2018-01-01 00:00:00 2018-01-01 00:00:00 2023-11-07 01:15:55
