Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this. tldr; I suggest adding the word "create" to the description of touch in the man page such that "apropos file | grep create" can suggest touch.
Longer explanation: The command: "apropos file | grep create" Does not suggest the "touch" command As stated on: man apropos https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/apropos.1.html apropos - search the manual page names and descriptions Meaning it does not go beyond the description. Touch does mention that leaving out the -c OPTION will result in no files being created if they don't exist hence it can be inferred that using touch without -c will result in files being created. However despite touch being frequently used for file creation touch man page does not use the word "create" Hence apropos is unable to suggest the most used file creation method (that truthfully is a by product of in-built functionality rather than intend of the function) Therefore I would suggest changing the description of the man page of touch slightly to include the word create or even an addition that this utility is often used to create files as well. With Kind regards, Thomas Webbers P.S if I wasted your time my apologies, I was merely trying to have this fixed for the programmer that comes after me.
