# Unix file times
|
||
|
|
Unix files store 3 time stamps: Modified, Accessed, Changed. These can be seen
|
||
|
|
with `ls -l`. The `stat` command can list these times as well, particularly with
|
||
|
|
something like `--format='%y'`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`touch` can change times directly. To use the times of another file, provide it
|
||
|
|
via the `-r` option, then constrain the times you want to change. For example
|
||
|
|
the `-m` flag will only copy over the modified time
