rlog(1) rlog(1)NAME rlog - display log messages and other information about RCS files SYNOPSIS rlog [-L] [-R] [-h] [-t] [-ddates] [-l[lockers]] [-rrevisions] [-sstates] [-w[logins]] files DESCRIPTION rlog displays information about RCS files. Files ending in ,v are RCS files, all others are working files. If a work- ing file is given, rlog tries to find the corresponding RCS file, first in directory ./RCS and then in the current directory, as explained in co(1). rlog displays the following information for each RCS file: RCS filename, working filename, head (that is, the number of the latest revision on the trunk), access list, locks, sym- bolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions selected for display, and descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch. For each revision, rlog displays revision number, author, date and time, state, number of lines added or deleted (with respect to the previ- ous revision), locker of the revision (if any), and log mes- sage. Without options, rlog displays complete information. The options below restrict this output. FLAG OPTIONS The following flag options are interpreted by rlog: -L Ignores RCS files that have no locks set; con- venient in combination with -R, -h, or -l. -R Prints only the name of the RCS file; convenient for translating a working filename into an RCS filename. -h Prints only RCS filename, working filename, head, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix. -t Prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text. -ddates Prints information about revisions with a checkin date and time in the ranges given by the semicolon-separated list of dates. A range of the form d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that were deposited between d1 and d2 (inclusive). A range of the form <d or d> selects all revisions dated d or earlier. A range of the form d< or >d selects all revisions dated d or later. A range of the form d selects the single, latest revision April, 1990 1
rlog(1) rlog(1)dated d or earlier. The date and time strings d, d1, and d2 are in the free format explained in co(1). Quoting is normally necessary, especially for < and >. Note that the separator is a semi- colon. -l[lockers] Prints information about locked revisions. If the comma-separated list lockers of login names is given, only the revisions locked by the given lo- gin names are displayed. If the list is omitted, all locked revisions are displayed. -rrevisions Prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list revisions of revisions and ranges. A range rev1-rev2 means revisions rev1 to rev2 on the same branch, -rev means revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and including rev, and rev- means revisions starting with rev to the end of the branch containing rev. An argument that is a branch means all revisions on that branch. A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in that range. -sstates Prints information about revisions whose state at- tributes match one of the states given in the comma-separated list states. -w[logins] Prints information about revisions checked in by users with login names appearing in the comma- separated list logins. If logins is omitted, the user's login is assumed. rlog displays the intersection of the revisions selected with the options -d, -l, -s, and -w, intersected with the union of the revisions selected by -b and -r. EXAMPLES The following are some examples of using rlog. rlog -L -R RCS/*,v rlog -L -h RCS/*,v rlog -L -l RCS/*,v rlog RCS/*,v The first command displays the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory RCS which have locks. The second command displays the headers of those files, and the third displays the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions. The last command displays complete information. 2 April, 1990
