NAME

6       sccs-comb, comb - combine SCCS deltas
7

SYNOPSIS

9       comb [-os] [-csid-list] [-psid] s.filename...
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       comb  generates  a  shell script (see sh(1)) that you can use to recon‐
14       struct the indicated s.files. This script is written  to  the  standard
15       output.
16
17
18       If  a  directory  name is used in place of the s.filename argument, the
19       comb command applies to  all  s.files  in  that  directory.  Unreadable
20       s.files  produce  an error; processing continues with the next file (if
21       any). The use of `−' as the  s.filename  argument  indicates  that  the
22       names  of  files are to be read from the standard input, one s.file per
23       line.
24
25
26       If no options are specified, comb preserves only the most recent (leaf)
27       delta  in  a branch, and the minimal number of ancestors needed to pre‐
28       serve the history.
29

OPTIONS

31       The following options are supported:
32
33       -o            For each `get -e'  generated,  access  the  reconstructed
34                     file  at  the  release of the delta to be created. Other‐
35                     wise, the reconstructed file  is  accessed  at  the  most
36                     recent  ancestor.  The use of -o can decrease the size of
37                     the reconstructed s.file. It can also alter the shape  of
38                     the delta tree of the original file.
39
40
41       -s            Generate  scripts  to gather statistics, rather than com‐
42                     bining deltas. When run, the shell  scripts  report:  the
43                     file  name,  size  (in  blocks) after combining, original
44                     size (also in blocks), and the  percentage  size  change,
45                     computed by the formula:
46
47                     100 * ( original − combined ) / original
48
49                     This  option  can  be used to calculate the space that is
50                     saved, before actually doing the combining.
51
52
53       -csid-list    Include the indicated list of deltas.  All  other  deltas
54                     are  omitted.  sid-list is a comma-separated list of SCCS
55                     delta IDs (SIDs). To specify a range of deltas, use a `−'
56                     separator  instead  of  a  comma, between two SIDs in the
57                     list.
58
59
60       -pSID         The SID of the oldest delta to be preserved.

BUGS

91       comb might rearrange the shape of the tree of deltas. It might not save
92       any  space; in fact, it is possible for the reconstructed file to actu‐
93       ally be larger than the original.
