ident(1)                         DG/UX 5.4.2                        ident(1)


NAME
       ident - identify files

SYNOPSIS
       ident [ -q ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       ident searches for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$ in
       the named files or, if no file name appears, the standard input.

       These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command
       co(1), but can also be inserted manually.  The option -q suppresses
       the warning given if there are no patterns in a file.

       ident works on text files as well as object files and dumps.  For
       example, if the C program in f.c contains

              char rcsid[] = "$Id: f.c,v 5.1.1.2 1992/03/17 17:34:14 brown
              Sta $";

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

              ident  f.c  f.o

       will output

              f.c:
                  $Id: f.c,v 5.1.1.2 1992/03/17 17:34:14 brown Sta $
              f.o:
                  $Id: f.c,v 5.1.1.2 1992/03/17 17:34:14 brown Sta $
