 sact(CP)                       6 January 1993                       sact(CP)


 Name

    sact - print current SCCS file editing activity

 Syntax

    sact files
    sact -

 Description

    The sact command informs the user of any impending deltas to a named SCCS
    file.  This situation occurs when get(CP) has been executed with the -e
    option without a subsequent execution of delta(CP).  If a directory is
    named on the command line, sact behaves as though each file in the direc-
    tory 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.

    The output for each named file consists of five fields separated by
    spaces.

    Field 1   Specifies the SID of a delta that currently exists in the SCCS
              file to which changes will be made to make the new delta.

    Field 2   Specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

    Field 3   Contains the logname of the user who will make the delta (for
              example, executed a get for editing).

    Field 4   Contains the date that get -e was executed.

    Field 5   Contains the time that get -e was executed.
