NAME
prt - (BSD) display the delta and commentary history of an
SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/prt [-abdefistu] [-y[SID]] [-c[cutoff]
[-r[rev-cutoff]] file . . .
DESCRIPTION
Note: the prt command is an older version of prs(1) that in
most circumstances is more convenient to use, but is less
flexible than prs.
prt prints part or all of an SCCS file in a useful format. If
a directory is named, prt behaves as though each file in the
directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS
files (last component of the pathname 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 SCCS file to be
processed. Again, non-SCCS files and unreadable files are
silently ignored.
The following options are available with prt:
-a Print those types of deltas normally not printed by the
d keyletter. These are types R (removed). This
keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also
specified (or assumed).
-b Print the body of the SCCS file.
-d This keyletter normally prints delta table entries of
the D type.
-e This keyletter implies the d, i, u, f, and t keyletters
and is provided for convenience.
-f Print the flags of the named file.
-i Print the serial numbers of those deltas included,
excluded, and ignored. This keyletter is effective only
if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

The following format is used to print those portions of
the SCCS file as specified by the above keyletters. The
printing of each delta table entry is preceded by a
NEWLINE.
Type of delta (D or R).
SPACE.
SCCS identification string (SID).
TAB.
Date and time of creation (in the form YY/MM/DD
HH:MM:SS).
SPACE.
Creator.
TAB.
Serial number.
SPACE.
Predecessor delta's serial number.
TAB.
Statistics (in the form inserted/deleted/-
unchanged).
NEWLINE.
``Included:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas
included, followed by NEWLINE (only if there were
any such deltas and if i keyletter was supplied).
``Excluded:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas
excluded, followed by NEWLINE (see note above).
``Ignored:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas
ignored, followed by NEWLINE (see note above).

``MRs:TAB'', followed by MR numbers related to the
delta, followed by NEWLINE (only if any MR numbers
were supplied).
Lines of comments (delta commentary), followed by
newline (if any were supplied).
-s Print only the first line of the delta table entries;
that is, only up to the statistics. This keyletter is
effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or
assumed).
-t Print the descriptive text contained in the file.
-u Print the login-names and/or numerical group IDs of
those users allowed to make deltas.
-y[SID]
Print the delta table entries to stop when the delta
just printed has the specified SID. If no delta in the
table has the specified SID, the entire table is
printed. If no SID is specified, the first delta in the
delta table is printed. This keyletter will print the
entire delta table entry for each delta as a single line
(the NEWLINE in the normal multi-line format of the d
keyletter are replaced by SPACE characters) preceded by
the name of the SCCS file being processed, followed by a
:, followed by a TAB. This keyletter is effective only
if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).
-c[cutoff]
Stop printing the delta table entries if the delta about
to be printed is older than the specified cutoff date-
time (see get(1) for the format of date-time). If no
date-time is supplied, the epoch 0000 GMT Jan. 1, 1970
is used. As with the y keyletter, this keyletter will
cause the entire delta table entry to be printed as a
single line and to be preceded by the name of the SCCS
file being processed, followed by a :, followed by a
tab. This keyletter is effective only if the d
keyletter is also specified (or assumed).
-r[rev-cutoff]
Begin printing the delta table entries when the delta
about to be printed is older than or equal to the
specified cutoff date-time (see get(1) for the format of

date-time). If no date-time is supplied, the epoch 0000
GMT Jan. 1, 1970 is used. (In this case, nothing will
be printed). As with the y keyletter, this keyletter
will cause the entire delta table entry to be printed as
a single line and to be preceded by the name of the SCCS
file being processed, followed by a :, followed by a
tab. This keyletter is effective only if the d
keyletter is also specified (or assumed).
If any keyletter but y, c, or r is supplied, the name of the
file being processed (preceded by one NEWLINE and followed by
two NEWLINE characters) is printed before its contents.
If none of the u, f, t, or b keyletters is supplied, the d
keyletter is assumed.
Note: the s and i keyletters, and the c and r keyletters are
mutually exclusive; therefore, they may not be specified
together on the same prt command.
The form of the delta table as produced by the y, c, and r
keyletters makes it easy to sort multiple delta tables in
chronological order.
When both the y and c or the y and r keyletters are supplied,
prt will stop printing when the first of the two conditions is
met.
