RCSINFO — User Commands

NAME

rcsinfo, rcstell − Generate listing of files that are checked out via RCS

SYNOPSIS

rcsinfo [options] [RCS-directory]
rcstell [options] [RCS-directory]

OPTIONS

−uOnly list files checked out by the user invoking the program.

−sFor rcsinfo, produce no output if no files are locked.

DESCRIPTION

This program lists files checked out via RCS. If invoked as rcsinfo, it prints a verbose description of each file, including the name of each file, who locked it, its RCS version number, and the date and time when it was locked. If invoked as rcstell, this program prints just the name of each file that is checked out. (This may be useful for constructs such as “rcsdiff ‘rcstell‘”.) In each case, the -u option may be used to restrict output to files locked by the caller.

If no files are locked, rcsinfo prints a message to that effect unless the -s (silent) option is specified. rcstell prints nothing in either case.

By default, the program lists files controlled by the subdirectory RCS. It may be directed to a different RCS directory by specifying the name of the directory on the command line.
