rlog(1)                          DG/UX R4.11                         rlog(1)


NAME
       rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS files

SYNOPSIS
       rlog [ options ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       rlog prints information about RCS files.

       Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote RCS files; all others denote
       working files.  Names are paired as explained in ci(1).

       rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS
       pathname, working pathname, head (i.e., the number of the latest
       revision on the trunk), default branch, access list, locks, symbolic
       names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions
       selected for printing, and descriptive text.  This is followed by
       entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for
       each branch.  For each revision, rlog prints revision number, author,
       date/time, state, number of lines added/deleted (with respect to the
       previous revision), locker of the revision (if any), and log message.
       All times are displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (GMT).  Without
       options, rlog prints complete information.  The options below
       restrict this output.

       -L  Ignore RCS files that have no locks set.  This is convenient in
           combination with -h, -l, and -R.

       -R  Print only the name of the RCS file.  This is convenient for
           translating a working pathname into an RCS pathname.

       -h  Print only the RCS pathname, working pathname, head, default
           branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.

       -t  Print the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.

       -b  Print information about the revisions on the default branch,
           normally the highest branch on the trunk.

       -ddates
           Print information about revisions with a checkin date/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 dated d or earlier.
           The date/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 semicolon.

       -l[lockers]
           Print information about locked revisions only.  In addition, if
           the comma-separated list lockers of login names is given, ignore
           all locks other than those held by the lockers.  For example,
           rlog -L -R -lwft RCS/* prints the name of RCS files locked by the
           user wft.

       -r[revisions]
           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.  A branch followed by a . means the
           latest revision in that branch.  A bare -r with no revisions
           means the latest revision on the default branch, normally the
           trunk.

       -sstates
           prints information about revisions whose state attributes 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.

       -Vn Emulate RCS version n when generating logs.  See co(1) for more.

       -xsuffixes
           Use suffixes to characterize RCS files.  See ci(1) for details.

       rlog prints 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
           rlog  -L  -R  RCS/*,v
           rlog  -L  -h  RCS/*,v
           rlog  -L  -l  RCS/*,v
           rlog  RCS/*

       The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the
       subdirectory RCS that have locks.  The second command prints the
       headers of those files, and the third prints the headers plus the log
       messages of the locked revisions.  The last command prints complete
       information.

ENVIRONMENT
       RCSINIT
              options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.
              See ci(1) for details.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were
       successful.

BUGS
       The separator for revision ranges in the -r option used to be -
       instead of :, but this leads to confusion when symbolic names contain
       -.  For backwards compatibility rlog -r still supports the old -
       separator, but it warns about this obsolete use.
