UNGET(1)                GENIX Programmer's Manual                UNGET(1)



      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  neces-
                            sary 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.

      NOTE
           The unedit entry point of the sccs command provides a  nicer  inter-
           face to unget's functionality.
