Greetings,In helping a new Linux user to create a forcefsck file, it has become apparent to me that the manpage in my Linux distribution (Debian Etch) does not have any mention of the fact that when touch is used on a non-existent file, it creates an empty file. The manpage for touch primarily discusses updating timestamps, but no mention is made of its ability to create 0 byte files. Is this the case in the GNU touch manpage? Have I come to the right place? For your viewing convenience, please find the manpage that came with my distro attached.
Thanks and regards, Zachary Palmer
