DescriptionTop | Previous | Next

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.

        create: data.tst created
