IDENT(1) — HP-UX

NAME

ident − identify files in RCS

ident file ...

Ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$, where keyword is one of the following:

Author
Date
Header
Locker
Log
Revision
Source
State

These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command co(1), but can also be inserted manually.

Ident works on text files as well as object files. For example, if the C program in file f.c contains:

char rcsid[] = "$Header: Header information $";

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

ident f.c f.o

will print:

f.c:

$Header: Header information $

f.o:

$Header: Header information $
