PRS(1) SysV PRS(1)
NAME
prs - print an SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
prs [-d[dataspec]] [-r[SID]] [-e] [-l] [-c[date-time]] [-a] files
DESCRIPTION
prs prints, on the standard output, parts or all of an SCCS file [see
sccsfile(4)] in a user-supplied format. If a directory is named, prs
behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named
file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the path name does
not begin with s.), and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name
of - is given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard
input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file or directory to be
processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored.
Arguments to prs, which may appear in any order, consist of keyletter
arguments, and file names.
All the described keyletter arguments apply independently to each named
file:
-d [dataspec] Used to specify the output data
specification. The dataspec is a string consisting
of SCCS file data keywords (see DATA KEYWORDS)
interspersed with optional user supplied text.
-r [SID] Used to specify the SCCS IDentification (SID)
string of a delta for which information is desired.
If no SID is specified, the SID of the most recently
created delta is assumed.
-e Requests information for all deltas created earlier
than and including the delta designated via the -r
keyletter or the date given by the -c option.
-l Requests information for all deltas created later
than and including the delta designated via the -r
keyletter or the date given by the -c option.
c date-time The cutoff date-time -c[cutoff]] is in
the form:
YY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]]
-c [date-time] Units omitted from the date-time default
to their maximum possible values; that is, -c7502 is
equivalent to -c750228235959. Any number of non-
numeric characters may separate the various 2-digit
pieces of the cutoff date in the form: "-c77/2/2
9:22:25".
-a Requests printing of information for both removed,
i.e., delta type = R, [see rmdel(1)] and existing,
i.e., delta type = D, deltas. If the -a keyletter is
not specified, information for existing deltas only
is provided.
DATA KEYWORDS
Data keywords specify which parts of an SCCS file are to be retrieved and
output. All parts of an SCCS file [see sccsfile(4)] have an associated
data keyword. There is no limit on the number of times a data keyword
may appear in a dataspec.
The information printed by prs consists of: (1) the user-supplied text;
and (2) appropriate values (extracted from the SCCS file) substituted for
the recognized data keywords in the order of appearance in the dataspec.
The format of a data keyword value is either Simple (S), in which keyword
substitution is direct, or Multi-line (M), in which keyword substitution
is followed by a carriage return.
User-supplied text is any text other than recognized data keywords.
A tab is specified by \t and carriage return/new-line is specified by \n.
The default data keywords are:
":Dt:\t:DL:\nMRs:\n:MR:COMMENTS:\n:C:"

EXAMPLES
prs -d"Users and/or user IDs for :F: are:\n:UN:" s.file
may produce on the standard output:
Users and/or user IDs for s.file are:
xyz
131
abc
prs -d"Newest delta for pgm :M:: :I: Created :D: By :P:" -r s.file
may produce on the standard output:
Newest delta for pgm main.c: 3.7 Created 77/12/1 By cas
As a special case:
prs s.file
may produce on the standard output:
D 1.1 77/12/1 00:00:00 cas 1 000000/00000/00000
MRs:
bl78-12345
bl79-54321
COMMENTS:
this is the comment line for s.file initial delta
for each delta table entry of the "D" type. The only keyletter argument
allowed to be used with the special case is the -a keyletter.
