SCCSTORCS(8) 1983 SCCSTORCS(8)
NAME
sccstorcs - build RCS file from SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
sccstorcs [-t] [-v] s.file ...
DESCRIPTION
Sccstorcs builds an RCS file from each SCCS file argument.
The deltas and comments for each delta are preserved and
installed into the new RCS file in order. Also preserved
are the user access list and descriptive text, if any,
from the SCCS file.
The following flags are meaningful:
-t Trace only. Prints detailed information about the
SCCS file and lists the commands that would be
executed to produce the RCS file. No commands are
actually executed and no RCS file is made.
-v Verbose. Prints each command that is run while it
is building the RCS file.
FILES
For each s.somefile, Sccstorcs writes the files somefile
and somefile,v which should not already exist. Sccstorcs
will abort, rather than overwrite those files if they do
exist.

DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostics are written to stderr. Non-zero exit
status on error.
BUGS
Sccstorcs does not preserve all SCCS options specified in
the SCCS file. Most notably, it does not preserve removed
deltas, MR numbers, and cutoff points.
