# Touch Access And Modify Times Individually
When running the `touch` command on an existing file:
```bash
$ touch README.md
```
The `Access` and `Modify` times of that file will be updated to the current
time.
You can update these values individually with the `-a` and `-m` flags.
To update just the access time:
```bash
$ touch -a README.md
```
To update just the modify time:
```bash
$ touch -m README.md
```
See `man touch` for more details.
