Under cAos-Linux I get the following at the bottom of the man page:

SEE ALSO
	The full documentation for touch is maintained as a Texinfo
	manual. If the info and touch programs are properly installed at
	your site, the command

              info coreutils touch

       should give you access to the complete manual.

Which gives...

[...]
   Any FILE that does not exist is created empty.
[...]
