 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, standard input is read with each line being taken as the
    name of an SCCS file to be processed.

    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 option 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 printout, on 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.
