USAGE

create [log logfile] [options] file [...]


DESCRIPTION

create creates empty file(s), as named by the file argument(s).

For each file created, create prints the following message:

	create: file created

If file already exists, create will print an error message and exit (but see -o and -w options).

If file can not be created, create will print an error message and exit.

If you don't specify logfile, create writes error messages to standard error.


EXAMPLE

For example (if files "xyz.txt" and "data.tst" do not already exist), the command:

	create xyz.txt data.tst

creates two files, "xyz.txt" and "data.tst", both empty, and prints these messages to standard error (or logfile, if given):

	create: xyz.txt created
	create: data.tst created


OPTIONS

-o : Overwrite (truncate to length 0) a file that already exists.

-w : Warn if file already exists, don't create it, continue.

-q : Quiet mode, suppress creation reports and warnings.

-v : Print version banner and usage info to standard error (or logfile, if given), then exit.
