touch

node-touch

For all your node touching needs.

Installing

npm install touch

CLI Usage:

See man touch

This package exports a binary called nodetouch that works mostly like the unix builtin touch(1).

API Usage:

var touch = require("touch")

Gives you the following functions:

• touch(filename, options, cb)
• touch.sync(filename, options)
• touch.ftouch(fd, options, cb)
• touch.ftouchSync(fd, options)

All the options objects are optional.

All the async functions return a Promise. If a callback function is provided, then it's attached to the Promise.

Options

• force like touch -f Boolean
• time like touch -t <date> Can be a Date object, or any parseable Date string, or epoch ms number.
• atime like touch -a Can be either a Boolean, or a Date.
• mtime like touch -m Can be either a Boolean, or a Date.
• ref like touch -r <file> Must be path to a file.
• nocreate like touch -c Boolean

If neither atime nor mtime are set, then both values are set. If one of them is set, then the other is not.

cli

This package creates a nodetouch command line executable that works very much like the unix builtin touch(1)
