NAME
sccstorcs - build RCS file from SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
sccstorcs [-t] [-v] sccsfiles
DESCRIPTION
sccstorcs builds an RCS file from each SCCS file specified
as an argument. The deltas and comments for each delta are
preserved and installed into the new RCS file in order.
Also preserved are the user access list and descriptive
text, if any, from the SCCS file.
The following flags are meaningful:
-t Trace only. Prints detailed information about the SCCS
file and lists the commands that would be executed to
produce the RCS file. No commands are actually execut-
ed and no RCS file is made.
-v Verbose. Prints each command that is run while
sccstorcs is building the RCS file.
EXAMPLES
The command line:
sccstorcs s.getword.c
creates the files getword.c and getword.c,v (which should
not already exist). If those files do exist, sccstorcs will
exit with an error rather than overwrite them.
