RLSID(1-SysV)      RISC/os Reference Manual       RLSID(1-SysV)



NAME
     rls_id - generate release identification file

SYNOPSIS
     rlsid [ -c ] message [ output-file ]

DESCRIPTION
     Starting with MIPS compiler release 1.30, the compiler
     driver will use the value of the environment variable
     RLS_ID_OBJECT as the name of a file to link in as the last
     item in the link line (after all libraries).  The intention
     is that this will be used to mark executable files with
     identification strings specific to a given release or set of
     executables.

     The command rlsid is used to generate a file that contains
     strings that are understood by the RCS command ident(1) and
     the SCCS command what(1).  The strings are static, so they
     do not affect the running of the executable.

     The message argument may contain any alphanumeric charac-
     ters, space, tab, or punctuation with the exception of $, ",
     and > (RCS and SCCS control characters).  Invalid messages
     will be rejected.

     Unless -c is given, the data is compiled and placed in the
     file named by output-file or, if no output-file is given,
     the file named by the variable RLS_ID_OBJECT.

OPTIONS
     -c        Generate the C source on the standard output.
               This is useful when the compiler to be used to
               generate the executables is not the standard com-
               piler (/bin/cc or /usr/bin/cc).

EXAMPLES
     The following three sets of commands will generate a file
     called rlsid.o with the identification string ``RISC/os
     4.5'':


          rls_id "RISC/os 4.5" rls_id.o



          RLS_ID_OBJECT ="rls_id.o"
          export RLS_ID_OBJECT
          rls_id "RISC/os 4.5"



          rls_id -c "RISC/os 4.5" > rls_id.c

          cc -c rls_id.c


     Note that the second set uses Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) syntax
     and not that of the C-shell.
