Hello list, This is a Request For Comment for adding a new feature into touch utility. touch is basically an utility to modify a file's timestamps and it is also used for file creation vastly. We can create a file by just doing 'touch filename'. There are lot of cases where we need to change file's permission after creation. To do that we need to separately do 'chmod -/+ mode filename'. Now, my proposal is to adding mode changing feature to the touch utility, it will help us to create a file by just doing 'touch --mode xxx filename'. It will create a file with specified mode.
Hope to get some response. thanks in advance! rakib
