# node-touch
For all your node touching needs.
## Installing
```bash
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:
```javascript
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)`
