_{Official ZPE/YASS documentation}file_touch

file_touch (string file[, integer time]) ⇒ boolean

'Touches' a file, setting its modification time to the current time. Optionally takes a time parameter to set it to.

Notes

This function works identically to the Linux/Unix-like operating system touch feature that touches a file to set the time to a specified time. With the ZPE implementation, it gets the current time and sets the file modification time to that, thus making it cross compatible with Windows operating systems.
