NAME

sccs − Source Code Control System

SYNTAX

sccs [ options ] sequence... 

DESCRIPTION

The sccs command serves as the control program for the Source Code Control System (SCCS).  As such, the sccs command controls the execution of each specified SCCS command sequence. 

The Source Code Control System maintains a record of each version of the programs or text files that are part of SCCS.  Each record contains: what changes were made, why they were made, who made them, and when they were made.  SCCS allows recovery of earlier versions of a file, as well as simultaneous maintenance of different versions of a file.  In addition, SCCS ensures that two people do not edit the same file at the same time.  SCCS has a full subset of commands, each of which may or may not have options.  For further information, read “An Introduction to the Source Code Control System” and the appropriate SCCS command manual page.
