24       These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the  RCS  command
25       co (1), but can also be inserted manually.
26
27       Ident works on text files as well as object files.  For example, if the
28       C program in file f.c contains
29
30               char rcsid[] = "$Header:  Header information $";
31
32       and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
33
34               ident  f.c  f.o
35
36       will print
37
38               f.c:
39                       $Header:  Header information $
40               f.o:
41                       $Header:  Header information $
