I set an explicit file to customization created via the UI. It's named custom.el. Currently, I use the followed snippets to create this file if not exist.
(defconst custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
(unless (file-exists-p custom-file)
(shell-command (concat "touch " custom-file)))
There is an ugly shell-command touch in, any other elisp functions can do this?

To create a new file, use Control-X-Control-F, just as if the file already existed. When emacs asks you for the file name, type in the name you want your new file to have, and emacs will create the file, and display an empty buffer for you to type in. Emacs will perform file name completion for you.
Use Ctrl-x f to open a file from within Emacs. Create a new file in the same way as opening a file by specifying the new filename. The new file will not be saved unless specified. Save a file that is currently open by entering the Ctrl-x Ctrl-s command.
To start dired: In Emacs, type M-x dired. You will be prompted for the directory to open. Type in the directory to display, or press Return to open the default directory.
You can use (write-region "" nil custom-file) not sure that is the ideal solution.
