     Name
          unget - undo a previous get of an SCCS file

     Syntax
          unget [-rSID] [-s] [-n] files

     Description
          The unget command 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 necessary 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.
