# 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.
