SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14        The cooktime program is used to set the modified time or access time
15        of a file.  This can be used to defend against unwanted logical
16        dependencies when making "minor" changes to files.
17
18        If no option is specified, the default action is as if "-Modify now"
19        was specified.
20

OPTIONS

22        The following options are understood.
23
24        -Access date
25                This option may be used to set the last-access time of the
26                files.  The date is relatively free-format; rember to use
27                quotes to insulate spaces from the shell.
28
29        -Modify date
30                This option may be used to set the last-modify time of the
31                files.  The date is relatively free-format; rember to use
32                quotes to insulate spaces from the shell.
33
34        -Time-Stamp-Granularity seconds
35                This option may be used to specify the granularity of the
36                filesystem's timestamps, otherwise a default value of 1 second
37                is used.
38
39        -Report
40                When use alone, produces a listing of access times and modify
41                times for the named files.  When used with -Access or -Modify,
42                produces a listing of the changes made.
43
44        -Help
45                Give some information on how to use the cooktime command.
46
47        Any other option will generate a diagnostic error.
48
49        All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the
50        upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
51        optional.  You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.
52
53        All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or
54        lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.
55
56        For example: the arguments "-help", "-HEL" and "-h" are all
57        interpreted to mean the -Help option.  The argument "-hlp" will not be
58        understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
59
60        Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on
61        the command line.
62
63        The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for
64        cooktime are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.  The
65        "--option=value" convention is also understood.
66

EXIT STATUS

68        The cooktime command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The
69        cooktime command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
70        errors.
