NAME

sccs - front-end utility program for SCCS commands

SYNOPSIS

sccs [-r][-d rootpath ][

-p dirpath ] command [options ][ﬁle]...

DESCRIPTION

The

sccs command is a straightforward front end to the various programs comprising the Source Code

Control System. It includes the capability of running set-user-id to another user to allow shared access to

the SCCS ﬁles. sccs reduces the need to explicitly reference the SCCS ﬁlenames. The SCCS ﬁlenames

are generated by prepending the string SCCS/s. to the working ﬁles speciﬁed. The default SCCS sub-

directory name can be overridden with the

-p

dirpath option.

The command supplied to the

sccs command can either be an SCCS program or a pseudo command.

The SCCS programs that sscs handles include admin

, cdc, comb, delta, get, help, prs, rmdel,

sact, unget, val, what

and sccsdiff. The pseudo commands are:

check Prints a list of all ﬁles being edited. Returns a non-zero exit status if a ﬁle is being

edited. The intent is to allow an ’install’ entry in a makeﬁle to verify that everything is

included in the SCCS ﬁle before a version is installed. See the

info pseudo command

for a description of the

-b, -u

user and -U options.

clean Removes all ﬁles from the current directory or the named directory that can be

recreated from the SCCS ﬁles. Does not remove ﬁles that are in the process of being

edited. If -b is given, branches (i.e. SID’s with three or more components) are ignored

in determining which ﬁles are being edited. Therefore, any edits on branches can be

lost.

create Creates the initial SCCS ﬁle, taking the contents from ﬁle. Any options to

admin are

accepted. If the ﬁles are created successfully, the original ﬁles are renamed with a

(comma) on the front. Read-only copies are retrieved with get. The renamed ﬁles

should be removed after you have veriﬁed that the SCCS ﬁles have been created suc-

cessfully.

delget Runs delta on the named ﬁles and then get the new versions. The new versions of

the ﬁles have expanded identiﬁcation keywords, and cannot be edited. The [-mprsy]

options are passed to delta, and the [-bceiklsx] options are passed to get

deledit Equivalent to delget, except that the get phase includes the -e option.

diffs Gives a diff listing between the current version of the ﬁles being edited and the ver-

sions in SCCS format. The [-rcixt] options are passed to get. The [

-lsefhb]

options are passed to

diff. The -C option is passed to diff as -c.

edit Equivalent to get -e.

enter Equivalent to create, except get is omitted. This pseudo command is useful when

you want to run the edit command immediately after creating the SCCS ﬁle.

fix Removes a named delta, but leaves a copy of the delta in the current directory. The

-r SID option is required and must point to a leaf in the source tree. Since a record of

the changes is not preserved, fix should be used carefully.

info Lists all the ﬁles being edited. The -b option ignores branches in determining which

ﬁles are being edited. The -u user option lists only the ﬁles being edited by user . The

-U option is equivalent to -u current_user.

print Prints information about named ﬁles. Equivalent to prs -a followed by get -p

-m -s.

tell Lists all the ﬁles being edited, with a newline after each entry. See the info section

for a description of the -b, -u user and -U options.

unedit Equivalent to unget. Any changes made since the last get are lost. Use with cau-

tion.

Certain commands,

admin, cdc, check, clean, diffs, info, rmdel, sccsdiff, and tell cannot

use the set-user-id feature, as this would allow anyone to change the authorizations. These commands

are always run as the real user.

sccs(1) sccs(1) NAME sccs - front-end utility program for SCCS commands SYNOPSIS sccs [-r] [-d rootpath ] [-p dirpath ] command [options ] [file ]... DESCRIPTION The sccs command is a straightforward front end to the various programs comprising the Source Code Control System. It includes the capability of running set-user-id to another user to allow shared access to the SCCS files. sccs reduces the need to explicitly reference the SCCS filenames.
PAGE 2
sccs(1) sccs(1) Options The options supplied to the SCCS commands are documented in the corresponding SCCS man pages. The options supplied to the pseudo commands are documented in the above section. All other options preceding command are documented as follows: -r Runs sccs as the real user rather than the effective user sccs is set-user-id to. -d rootpath Gives the pathname to be used as the root directory for the SCCS files. rootpath defaults to the current directory.

sccs(1) sccs(1) RETURN VALUE A successful completion returns 0. On error, sccs exists with a value from or the exit value from the command that was invoked. The only exception is the check pseudo command which returns a non-zero exit status if a file is being edited.
