PRS(1)
NAME
prs − print and summarize an SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
prs files
HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
Level: HP-UX/STANDARD
Origin: System III
DESCRIPTION
Prs prints, on the standard output, parts or all of an file (see sccsfile(5)) in a user supplied format. If a directory is named, prs behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non- files (last component of the path name does not begin with s.), and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of − is given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an file to be processed; non- files and unreadable files are silently ignored.
Arguments to prs, which may appear in any order, consist of keyletter arguments, and file names.
All the described keyletter arguments apply independently to each named file:
−d[dataspec] Used to specify the output data specification. The dataspec is a string consisting of file data keywords (see Data Keywords) interspersed with optional user supplied text.
−r[SID] Used to specify the SCCS IDentification () string of a delta for which information is desired. If no is specified, the of the most recently created delta is assumed. If an SID is specified, it must agree exactly with an SID in the file (i.e. the SID structure used by get(1) does not work here).
−e Requests information for all deltas created earlier than and including the delta designated via the −r keyletter.
−l Requests information for all deltas created later than and including the delta designated via the −r keyletter.
−a Requests printing of information for both removed, i.e., delta type = R, (see rmdel(1)) and existing, i.e., delta type = D, deltas. If the −a keyletter is not specified, information for existing deltas only is provided.
Data Keywords
Data keywords specify which parts of an file are to be retrieved and output. All parts of an file (see sccsfile(5)) have an associated data keyword. There is no limit on the number of times a data keyword may appear in a dataspec.
The information printed by prs consists of: (1) the user supplied text; and (2) appropriate values (extracted from the file) substituted for the recognized data keywords in the order of appearance in the dataspec. The format of a data keyword value is either Simple (S), in which keyword substitution is direct, or Multi-line (M), in which keyword substitution is followed by a carriage return.

User supplied text is any text other than recognized data keywords. Escapes may be used as follows:
tab\t
new-line\n
colon\:
backspace\b
carriage-return\r
form feed\f
backslash\\
single quote\′
The default dataspec is:
:Dt:\t:DL:\n:MRs:\n:MR:COMMENTS:\n:C:
If no option letters (or only -a) are given, prs prints the file name, using the default dataspec, and the -e option; thus, information on all deltas is produced.
EXAMPLES
prs −d"Users and/or user IDs for :F: are:\n:UN:" s.file
may produce on the standard output:
Users and/or user IDs for s.file are:
xyz
131
abc
prs −d"Newest delta for pgm :M:: :I: Created :D: By :P:" −r s.file
may produce on the standard output:
Newest delta for pgm main.c: 3.7 Created 77/12/1 By cas
As a special case (when no −d keyletter is given):
prs s.file
may produce on the standard output:
D 1.1 77/12/1 00:00:00 cas 1 000000/00000/00000
MRs:
bl78-12345
bl79-54321
COMMENTS:
this is the comment line for s.file initial delta
for each delta table entry of the "D" type.
