NAME
      unget - undo a previous get of an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
      unget [-rSID] [-s] [-n] files

DESCRIPTION
      unget undoes the effect of a get -e done prior to creating the intended
      new delta.  If a directory is named, unget behaves as though each file in
      the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files
      and unreadable files are silently ignored.  If a name of - is given, the
      standard input is read with each line being taken as the name of an SCCS
      file to be processed.

      Keyletter arguments apply independently to each named file.

           -rSID       Uniquely identifies which delta is no longer intended.
                       (This would have been specified by get as the ``new
                       delta'').  The use of this keyletter is necessary only
                       if two or more outstanding gets for editing on the same
                       SCCS file were done by the same person (login name).  A
                       diagnostic results if the specified SID is ambiguous, or
                       if it is necessary and omitted on the command line.

           -s          Suppresses the printout, on the standard output, of the
                       intended delta's SID.

           -n          Causes the retention of the gotten file, which would
                       normally be removed from the current directory.

      unget must be performed by the same user who performed the original get
      -e.
