-# This is, unfortunately, the best that can be done in pure Posix as of now.
+# This touches a file containing only a newline and then diffs it with `/dev/null´ and extracts the timestamp from the diff.
+# Interestingly, on Macintosh, the format of `diff -u´ is only Posixy (including a fractional component and timezone) when `COMMAND_MODE=legacy´; however, the timezone will always be zero and the fractional component is ignorable, so it’s not necessary to worry about that here.
