file_touch: Change file access and modification times

In fs: Cross-Platform File System Operations Based on 'libuv'

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")]
