sact(1)                                                             sact(1)

NAME
     sact - print SCCS file editing activity

SYNOPSIS
     sact file...

DESCRIPTION
     sact (SCCS file activity) informs the user of any impending deltas to
     a named SCCS file. This situation occurs when get(1) with the -e
     option has been previously executed without a subsequent execution of
     delta. If a directory is named on the command line, sact 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.

     The output for each named file consists of five fields separated by
     spaces.

     SID      specifies the SID of a delta that currently exists in the
              SCCS file to which changes will be made to make the new
              delta.

     new SID  specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

     login    contains the logname of the user who will make the delta,
              i.e. who has executed a get for editing.

     date     contains the date that get -e was executed.

     time     contains the time that get -e was executed.

LOCALE
     The language of the message texts is governed by the environment vari-
     able LCALL, LCMESSAGES or LANG.

     When the default is set, the system behaves as if it were not interna-
     tionalized, i.e. the message texts are in English. You must change one
     of these variables in order to change the language of the message
     texts.

     Detailed information on the dependencies of the environment variables
     and on internationalization in general can be found in the manual
     "Programmer's Guide: Internationalization - Localization". Refer also
     to environ(5) for information on setting the user environment.
