6018,Add touch() and create_file() functions,Beman Dawes,Beman Dawes,"A function with the functionality of the POSIX touch utility would be a great convenience. It meets both the need to update times and the need to create a file.

OTOH, it is a bit of a mishmash of logically separate features. Maybe what is really needed is a create_file() function that errors if the file already exists and a touch() function that errors if the file doesn't exist.

Alternatively, both could return a bool, true if successful, and not consider it an error if the file, respectfully, already/doesn't exist.   ",Feature Requests,assigned,To Be Determined,filesystem,Boost 1.47.0,Optimization,,,
