     NAME
          ident - display RCS keywords and their values

     SYNOPSIS
          ident files

     DESCRIPTION
          ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the
          pattern $keyword:...  $, where keyword is one of

             Author
             Date
             Header
             Locker
             Log
             Revision
             Source
             State

          These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the
          RCS command co(1), but can also be inserted manually.

          ident works on text files as well as object files.

     EXAMPLES
          If the C program in file f.c contains the line

             char rcsid[] = "$Header: utility $";

          and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command

             ident f.c f.o

          will print

             f.c:
                  $Header: utility $
             f.o:
                  $Header: utility $
