### USAGE

create [log logfile] [options] file [...]

### DESCRIPTION

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.

### EXAMPLE

For example (if files "xyz.txt" and "data.tst" do not already exist), the command:

            create xyz.txt data.tst

creates two files, "xyz.txt" and "data.tst", both empty, and prints these messages to standard error (or logfile, if given):

            create: xyz.txt created
            create: data.tst created

### OPTIONS

-o : Overwrite (truncate to length 0) a file that already exists.

-w : Warn if file already exists, don't create it, continue.

-q : Quiet mode, suppress creation reports and warnings.

-n : Write a newline char. to each created file.

-z : Write a DOS end-of-file char. to each created file.

-v : Print version banner and usage info to standard error (or logfile, if given), then exit.
