Add -h option to touch(1)

2016-12-26 Thread Kenneth Gober
Submitted for your consideration: This diff adds an option '-h' to touch(1) for getting/setting timestamps from symbolic links directly, rather than the linked-to file. This is useful if you want to set the timestamp on a link (e.g. to copy the timestamp from the linked-to file, or from another l
