DESCRIPTION
The tuc command is not a standard Linux utility. It's likely a custom or mis-typed command. Standard Linux systems offer the 'touch' command for creating empty files, updating the access and modification times of existing files or directories.
Assuming it refers to the touch command:
The touch command is a fundamental utility used to update the access and modification times of existing files. If a file does not exist, touch creates an empty file with those times set to the current time. It is commonly used in scripts and build processes to manage dependencies based on file modification times or to simply create empty files for later use. The touch command can update modification and access times to specific dates and times, or set all command-line arguments' files to have the times specified. It's important to remember the touch command does not affect the content of an existing file; it only updates its metadata.
EXAMPLES
Create an empty file named 'newfile.txt': touch newfile.txt
Update the access and modification times of 'existingfile.txt' to the current time:touch existingfile.txt
Update access time:touch -a existingfile.txt
Update modification time:touch -m existingfile.txt
