LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the
value of LANG is used as a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If LANG is not specified or is set
to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization vari-
able contains an invalid setting, delta behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
Use sccshelp(1) for explanations.
WARNINGS
SCCS files can be any length, but the number of lines in the text file itself cannot exceed 99999 lines.
Lines beginning with an ASCII SOH character (octal 001) cannot be placed in the SCCS file unless the SOH is
escaped. This character has special meaning to SCCS
(see sccsfile(4)) and will cause an error.
A
get of many SCCS files, followed by a
delta of those files, should be avoided when the get generates a
large amount of data. Instead, multiple
get/delta sequences should be used.
If the standard input (-) is specified on the delta command line, the -m
(if necessary) and -y options
must also be present. Omission of these options causes an error.
Comments can be of multiple lines. The maximum length of the comment (total length of all comment
lines) cannot exceed 1024 bytes. No line in a comment should have a length of more than 1000 bytes.
FILES
All of the auxiliary files listed below, except for the g-file, are created in the same directory as the s-file (see
get(1)). The g-file is created in the user’s working directory.
g-file Existed before the execution of
delta; removed after completion of delta
(unless -n was specified).
p-file Existed before the execution of delta; may exist after completion of delta.
q-file Created during the execution of
delta; removed after completion of delta.
x-file Created during the execution of delta; renamed to SCCS file after completion of
delta.
z-file Created during the execution of delta; removed during the execution of delta.
d-file Created during the execution of
delta; removed after completion of delta.
/usr/bin/bdiff Program to compute differences between the file retrieved by
get and the g-file.
