cooktime [ option... ] filename...
cooktime -Help
cooktime -VERSion

DESCRIPTION
The cooktime program is used to set the modified time or access time of a file. This can be used to defend against unwanted logical dependencies when making "minor" changes to files.

If no option is specified, the default action is as if "-Modify now" was specified.

OPTIONS
The following options are understood.

-Access date
    This option may be used to set the last-access time of the files. The date is relatively free-format; rember to use quotes to insulate spaces from the shell.

-Modify date
    This option may be used to set the last-modify time of the files. The date is relatively free-format; rember to use quotes to insulate spaces from the shell.

-Time-Stamp-Granularity seconds
    This option may be used to specify the granularity of the filesystem's timestamps, otherwise a default value of 1 second is used.

-Report
    When use alone, produces a listing of access times and modify times for the named files. When used with -Access or -Modify, produces a listing of the changes made.

-Help
    Give some information on how to use the cooktime command.

Any other option will generate a diagnostic error.
