6 rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS files

9 rlog [ options ] file ...

12 Rlog prints information about RCS files. Files ending in `,v' are RCS
13 files, all others are working files. If a working file is given, rlog
14 tries to find the corresponding RCS file first in directory ./RCS and
15 then in the current directory, as explained in co(1L).
16 Rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS file name,
18 working file name, head (i.e., the number of the latest revision on the
19 trunk), default branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, suffix,
20 total number of revisions, number of revisions selected for printing,
21 and descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected
22 revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch. For each
23 revision, rlog prints revision number, author, date/time, state, number
24 of lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision), locker
25 of the revision (if any), and log message. Without options, rlog
26 prints complete information. The options below restrict this output.
27 -L ignores RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in com‐
29 bination with -R, -h, or -l.
30 -R only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient for trans‐
32 lating a working file name into an RCS file name.
33 -h prints only RCS file name, working file name, head, default
35 branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.
36 -t prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
38 -b prints information about the revisions on the default branch
40 (normally the highest branch on the trunk).
41 -ddates prints information about revisions with a checkin date/time
43 in the ranges given by the semicolon-separated list of dates.
44 A range of the form d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that
45 were deposited between d1 and d2, (inclusive). A range of
46 the form <d or d> selects all revisions dated d or earlier.
47 A range of the form d< or >d selects all revisions dated d or
48 later. A range of the form d selects the single, latest
49 revision dated d or earlier. The date/time strings d, d1,
50 and d2 are in the free format explained in co(1L). Quoting
51 is normally necessary, especially for < and >. Note that the
52 separator is a semicolon.
53 -l[lockers]
55 prints information about locked revisions. If the comma-sep‐
56 arated list lockers of login names is given, only the revi‐
57 sions locked by the given login names are printed. If the
58 list is omitted, all locked revisions are printed.
59 -rrevisions
61 prints information about revisions given in the comma-sepa‐
62 rated list revisions of revisions and ranges. A range
63 rev1-rev2 means revisions rev1 to rev2 on the same branch,
64 -rev means revisions from the beginning of the branch up to
65 and including rev, and rev- means revisions starting with rev
66 to the end of the branch containing rev. An argument that is
67 a branch means all revisions on that branch. A range of
68 branches means all revisions on the branches in that range.
69 -sstates prints information about revisions whose state attributes
71 match one of the states given in the comma-separated list
72 states.
73 -w[logins]
75 prints information about revisions checked in by users with
76 login names appearing in the comma-separated list logins. If
77 logins is omitted, the user's login is assumed.
78 Rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options
80 -d, -l, -s, -w, intersected with the union of the revisions selected by
81 -b and -r.
82
84 rlog -L -R RCS/*,v
85 rlog -L -h RCS/*,v
86 rlog -L -l RCS/*,v
87 rlog RCS/*,v
88 The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory
90 `RCS' which have locks. The second command prints the headers of those
91 files, and the third prints the headers plus the log messages of the
92 locked revisions. The last command prints complete information.
93
95 The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated upon, and
96 is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
