<para>
Attempts to set the access and modification time of the file named by
filename to the value given by time. If the option <parameter>time</parameter> is not
given, uses the present time. This is equivalent to what utime
(sometimes referred to as utimes) does. If the third option
<parameter>atime</parameter> is present, the access time of the given
filename is set to the value of <parameter>atime</parameter>.
Note that the access time is always modified, regardless of the number
of parameters.

If the file does not exist, it is created. &return.success;
