To create an empty file in Linux, you can use the touch command. This command is commonly used to create new, empty files or to update the timestamp of existing files without modifying their content.
To create an empty file, open a terminal and type:
touch filename
Replace “filename” with the desired name for the new file. If the file doesn’t already exist, it will be created as an empty file in the current directory.
If the file already exists, the touch command updates the file’s access and modification timestamps.
You can also specify a path to create a file in a different directory:
touch /path/to/directory/filename
For creating multiple files at once, list the filenames separated by spaces:
touch file1 file2 file3
The touch command is a simple and efficient way to create empty files in Linux.
