R: Change file access and modification times

file_touch {fs} | R Documentation

## Change file access and modification times

### Description

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

    file_create("foo")
    file_touch("foo", "2018-01-01")
    file_info("foo")[c("access_time", "modification_time", "change_time", "birth_time")]
