check(1)                                                              check(1)



NAME
     check - check RCS status of a file

SYNOPSIS
     check [ -d ] [ -l ] [ rcsdir ]

DESCRIPTION
     check displays RCS checkout information for files in the current
     directory.  This includes the revision level, checkout status of the
     file, and who the file is checked out to.  check assumes ./RCS is the
     default RCS directory.  A different RCS directory can be specified with
     the rcsdir argument.

     The -d switch causes check to display the date when the file was checked
     out in addition to the usual information.  The -l switch causes check to
     display only the names of files currently checked out.

     If check finds no files checked out, then it exits with status 0.  If
     some files are checked out, it exits with status 1.  If an error occurs,
     it exits with status 2.
