 Setting Modification Times
 ..........................
 
    Normally, `tar' sets the modification times of extracted files to
 the modification times recorded for the files in the archive, but
 limits the permissions of extracted files by the current `umask'
 setting.
 
    To set the modification times of extracted files to the time when
 the files were extracted, use the `--touch' (`-m') option in
 conjunction with `--extract' (`--get', `-x').
 
 `--touch'
 `-m'
      Sets the modification time of extracted archive members to the time
      they were extracted, not the time recorded for them in the archive.
      Use in conjunction with `--extract' (`--get', `-x').
