Schily´s USER COMMANDS |
sccs-edit(1) |
sccs-edit - retrieves a version of a file for editing
sccs edit [options] file1 .. filen
Retrieve a version of the file for editing. `sccs edit'
extracts a version of the file that is writable by you, and creates a
p.file in the SCCS subdirectory as lock on the history, so
that no one else can check that version in or out. ID keywords are
retrieved in unexpanded form. edit accepts the same options as
get, below. Refer to sccs-get(1) for more information about
the get utility and for a list of ID keywords and their definitions.
The edit subcommand is basically equivalent to ``get -e''.
- -asequence
- Retrieves the version corresponding to the indicated delta sequence
number. This option is used primarily by the SCCS comb command (see
sccs-comb(1)). For users, -r is an easier way to specify a
version. The -a option supersedes the -r option when both
are used.
- -b
- Creates a new branch. Used with the -e option to indicate that the
new delta should have a SID in a new branch. Instead of
incrementing the level for version to be checked in, get indicates
in the p.file that the delta to be checked in should either
initialize a new branch and sequence (if there is no existing branch at
the current level), or increment the branch component of the SID.
If the b flag is not set in the s.file, this option is
ignored.
- -c date-time
- -cdate-time
- Retrieves the latest version checked in prior to the date and time
indicated by the date-time argument. date-time takes the
form:
yy[mm[dd[ hh[mm[ss]]]]]
Units omitted from the indicated date and time default to
their maximum possible values; that is -c7502 is equivalent to
-c750228235959. Values of yy in the range
69−99 refer to the twentieth century. Values in the
range 00−68 refer to the twenty-first century. Any
number of non-numeric characters may separate the various 2 digit
components. If white-space characters occur, the date-time
specification must be quoted.
A date-time specification in the form:
yyyy/[mm[dd[hh[mm[ss]]]]]
refers to a 4-digit year and allows one to specify a year
outside the range 1969−2068.
- -g
- Gets the SCCS version ID, without retrieving the version itself.
Used to verify the existence of a particular SID.
- -i sid-list
- -isid-list
- Specifies a list of deltas to include in the retrieved version. The
included deltas are noted in the standard output message. sid-list
is a comma-separated list of SIDs. To specify a range of deltas,
use a `−' separator instead of a comma, between two
SIDs in the list.
- -s
- Suppresses all output normally written on the standard output. However,
fatal error messages (which always go to the standard error) remain
unaffected.
- -t
- Retrieves the most recently created (top) delta in a given release (for
example: -r1).
- -r[sid]
- Retrieves the version corresponding to the indicated SID (delta).
The SID for a given delta is a number, in Dewey decimal
format, composed of two or four fields: the release and
level fields, and for branch deltas, the branch and
sequence fields. For instance, if 1.2 is the SID,
1 is the release, and 2 is the level number. If
1.2.3.4 is the SID, 3 is the branch and 4 is
the sequence number.
You need not specify the entire SID to retrieve a
version with get. When you omit -r altogether, or when you
omit both release and level, get normally retrieves the highest
release and level. If the d flag is set to an SID in the
s.file and you omit the SID, get retrieves the
default version indicated by that flag.
When you specify a release but omit the level, get
retrieves the highest level in that release. If that release does not
exist, get retrieves highest level from the next-highest existing
release.
Similarly with branches, if you specify a release, level and
branch, get retrieves the highest sequence in that branch.
- -x sid-list
- -x[sid-list]
- Excludes the indicated deltas from the retrieved version. The excluded
deltas are noted in the standard output message. sid-list is a
comma-separated list of SIDs. To specify a range of deltas, use a
`−' separator instead of a comma, between two SIDs in
the list.
To edit the file xec.c in the current directory call:
- sccs edit xec.c
See environ(7) for descriptions of the following
environment variables that affect the execution of sccs-edit(1):
LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and
NLSPATH.
- SCCS_NO_HELP
- If set, sccs edit will not automatically call help(1) with
the SCCS error code in order to print a more helpful error message.
Scripts that depend on the exact error messages of SCCS commands should
set the environment variable SCCS_NO_HELP and set LC_ALL=C.

sccs edit was originally written by Eric Allman at UCB in
1980. It was later maintained by various people at AT&T and Sun
Microsystems. Since 2006, it has been maintained by Joerg Schilling and the
schilytools project authors.
The source code for SCCS is included in the
schilytools project and may be retrieved from the schilytools
