rcserror(3) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities rcserror(3)
Message: end of file detected in interactive input
Cause: A line beginning with a dot was not found before the end of the input file when
the –I option was specified.
Action: The file was properly checked in; no action is necessary.
Message: error in compression checking for filename
Cause: Something is wrong with the
RCS file.
Action: Recover a clean copy of the RCS file from your backups.
Message: Error closing input file filename
Cause: An error occurred while decompressing the RCS file filename.
Action: The file is possibly corrupt. Try again with another copy of the file.
Message: Error reading file filename: system error
Cause: See syserror(3).
Action: See syserror(3).
Message: escape option ’char’ unknown
Cause: You specified a ˜ command that was not valid.
Action: Check the DESCRIPTION section of the rcsedit(3) man page for a list of
valid ˜ commands.
Message: "filename" File exists
Cause: You specified filename as the argument to a ˜w command, but filename already
exists.
RCS does not overwrite existing files.
Action: Pick another name.
Message: filename too long to open with ˜ command
Cause: The path name specified as the argument of a ˜r or ˜w editing command (see
rcsedit(3)) was too long.
Action: Shorten the path. For example, you might cd to the file’s directory and specify
a path name relative to that directory on the command line.
Message: Files workfile and rcsfile are identical
Cause: The indicated work file and
RCS file are identical. This was probably caused by
not setting RCSPATH correctly.
Action: Set the RCSPATH variable to point to the correct RCS directory.
Message: incorrect range in edit script
Cause: For each revision, the RCS file contains an edit script (similar to diff output)
that describes how to build that revision from the base. One of these scripts
contained a non-numeric character in the range of an a, c,ord command.
Action: The RCS file is corrupt. Edit it manually to correct the invalid range or retrieve a
previous revision that does not involve this edit script and continue from that
new base.
