NAME
rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS
files
SYNOPSIS
rlog [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
rlog prints information about RCS files. Files ending in
`,v' are RCS files, all others are working files. If a
working file is given, rlog tries to find the corresponding
RCS file first in directory ./RCS and then in the current
directory, as explained in co(1).
rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS
file name, working file name, head (i.e., the number of the
latest revision on the trunk), access list, locks, symbolic
names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of
revisions selected for printing, and descriptive text. This
is followed by entries for the selected revisions in reverse
chronological order for each branch. For each revision, rlog
prints revision number, author, date/time, state, number of
lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision),
locker of the revision (if any), and log message. Without
options, rlog prints complete information. The options
below restrict this output.
-L ignores RCS files that have no locks set;
convenient in combination with -R, -h, or -l.
-R only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient
for translating a working file name into an RCS
file name.
-h prints only RCS file name, working file name,
head, access list, locks, symbolic names, and
suffix.
-t prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
-ddates prints information about revisions with a checkin
date/time in the ranges given by the semicolon-
separated list of dates. A range of the form
d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that were
deposited between d1 and d2, (inclusive). A range
of the form <d or d> selects all revisions dated d
or earlier. A range of the form d< or >d selects
all revisions dated d or later. A range of the
form d selects the single, latest revision dated d
or earlier. The date/time strings d, d1, and d2
are in the free format explained in co(1). Quoting

is normally necessary, especially for < and >.
Note that the separator is a semicolon.
-l[lockers]
prints information about locked revisions. If the
comma-separated list lockers of login names is
given, only the revisions locked by the given
login names are printed. If the list is omitted,
all locked revisions are printed.
-rrevisions
prints information about revisions given in the
comma-separated list revisions of revisions and
ranges. A range rev1-rev2 means revisions rev1 to
rev2 on the same branch, -rev means revisions from
the beginning of the branch up to and including
rev, and rev- means revisions starting with rev to
the end of the branch containing rev. An argument
that is a branch means all revisions on that
branch. A range of branches means all revisions on
the branches in that range.
-sstates prints information about revisions whose state
attributes match one of the states given in the
comma-separated list states.
-w[logins]
prints information about revisions checked in by
users with login names appearing in the comma-
separated list logins. If logins is omitted, the
user's login is assumed.
rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with
the options -d, -l, -s, -w, intersected with the union of
the revisions selected by -b and -r.
EXAMPLES
rlog -L -R RCS/*,v
rlog -L -h RCS/*,v
rlog -L -l RCS/*,v
rlog RCS/*,v
The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the
subdirectory `RCS' which have locks. The second command
prints the headers of those files, and the third prints the
headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions. The
last command prints complete information.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated
upon, and is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
