NAME
       cdc - change the delta commentary of an SCCS delta

SYNOPSIS
       cdc -rSID [-m[mrlist]] [-y[comment]] files

DESCRIPTION
       Cdc changes the delta commentary for the SID specified by the -r
       option of each named SID file.

       Delta commentary is defined to be the Modification Request (MR) and
       comment information normally specified via the delta(1) command (-m
       and -y options).

       If a directory is named, cdc behaves as though each file in the
       directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files
       (last component of the pathname does not begin with s.)  and
       unreadable files are silently ignored.  If a name of - is given, the
       standard input is read (see "WARNINGS"); each line of the standard
       input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed.

       Arguments to cdc can appear in any order.  They consist of options
       and filenames.

       All the described options apply independently to each named file:

       -rSID  Specifies the SCCS IDentification (ID) SID string of a delta
              for which the delta commentary is to be changed.

       -m[mrlist]
              If the SCCS  file has the v flag set (see admin(1)), then you
              can supply a list of MR numbers to be added and/or deleted in
              the delta commentary of the SID  specified by the -r option.
              A null MR list has no effect.  MR entries are added to the
              list of MRs as in delta(1).  To delete an MR, precede the MR
              number with the character ! (see EXAMPLES).  If the MR to be
              deleted is currently in the list of MRs, it is removed and
              changed into a "comment" line.  A list of all deleted MRs is
              placed in the comment section of the delta commentary and
              preceded by a comment line stating that they were deleted.

              If -m is not used and the standard input is a terminal, the
              prompt MRs?  is issued on the standard output before the
              standard input is read; if the standard input is not a
              terminal, no prompt is issued.  The MRs? prompt always
              precedes the comments? prompt (see -y option).  MRs in a list
              are separated by blanks and/or tab characters.  An unescaped
              new-line character terminates the MR list.

              Note that if the v flag has a value (see admin(1)), it is
              taken to be the name of a program (or shell procedure) that
              validates the MR numbers.  If a non-zero exit status is
              returned from the MR number validation program, cdc terminates
              and the delta commentary remains unchanged.

       -y[comment]
              Arbitrary text that replaces the current comment(s) for the
              delta specified by the -r option.  The previous comments are
              kept and preceded by a comment line stating that they were
              changed.  A null comment has no effect.

              If -y is not specified and the standard input is a terminal,
              the prompt comments? is issued on the standard output before
              the standard input is read; if the standard input is not a
              terminal, no prompt is issued.  An unescaped new-line
              character terminates the comment text.

       The exact permissions necessary to modify the SCCS file are
       documented in Programmer's Guide: ANSI C and Programming Support
       Tools.  Simply stated, they are either (1) if you made the delta, you
       can change its delta commentary; or (2) if you own the file and
       directory, you can modify the delta commentary.

EXAMPLES
       $ cdc -r1.6 -m"bl78-12345 !bl77-54321 bl79-00001" -ytrouble s.file

       $ cdc -r1.6 s.file
       MRs? !bl77-54321 bl78-12345 bl79-00001
       comments? trouble

       Both examples add bl78-12345 and bl79-00001 to the MR list,
       remove bl77-54321 from the MR list, and add the comment
       trouble to delta 1.6 of s.file.

FILES
       x-file    (see delta(1))
       z-file    (see delta(1))

DIAGNOSTICS
       Use help(1) for explanations of error messages.

NOTES
       If SCCS filenames are supplied to the cdc command via the standard
       input (- on the command line), then the -m and -y options must also
       be used.
