NAME
ident - identify files in RCS
SYNOPSIS
ident file ...
DESCRIPTION
ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the pattern
$keyword:...$, where keyword is one
of the following:
Author Log
Date Revision
Header Source
Locker State
These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the
RCS co command, but can also be inserted
manually (see co(1)).
ident works on text files as well as object files. For example, if the C program in file
f.c contains:
char rcsid[] = "$Header: Header information $";
and f.c is compiled into f.o, the command:
ident f.c f.o
prints:
f.c:
$Header: Header information $
f.o:
$Header: Header information $
AUTHOR
ident was developed by Walter F. Tichy.
