To change specific timestamps of a file in Linux, you can use the touch command with the -t option, which allows you to specify the timestamp in a specific format. The format is [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss], where:
CC- Century (the first two digits of the year)YY- Year (the last two digits of the year)MM- Month (01 to 12)DD- Day of the month (01 to 31)hh- Hour (00 to 23)mm- Minute (00 to 59)ss- Seconds (00 to 59, optional)
For example, to set the timestamp of a file named example.txt to March 15, 2023, at 14:30, you would use:
touch -t 202303151430 example.txt
This command will change the last modified and access timestamps of example.txt to the specified date and time.
