sccs-delget 1 "2020/06/29" "J\*org Schilling" "Schily\'s USER COMMANDS"
NAME
sccs-delget, sccs-deledit - perform a delta and get new version
SYNOPSIS
sccs delget [ options ] file " ... "

sccs deledit [ options ] file " ... "

DESCRIPTION

sccs delget performs an ` "sccs delta" ' on the named files and then an ` "sccs get" ' to check in a delta and to retrieve new version. The new versions will have id keywords expanded, and will not be editable. sccs performs a delta on all the files specified in the argument list, and then a get on all the files. If an error occurs during the delta , the get is not performed. The -m ", -o ", " -p ", " -r , -f ", " -q , -s ", and " -y flags will be passed to delta, and the -b ", " -c ", " -e , -i ", " -k ", " -l , -s ", and " -x flags will be passed to get.

sccs deledit is equivalent to sccs delget except that the get phase includes the -e flag. This is equivalent to an ` "sccs delta" ' and then an ` "sccs edit" '. deledit checks in a delta, and checks the file back out again, but leaves the current working copy of the file intact. This option is useful for making a ``checkpoint'' of your current editing phase. The same flags will be passed to delta as described above, and all the flags listed for get above except -e and -k are passed to edit . . \" .SH RETURNS . \" .SH ERRORS

OPTIONS

12 -o Retrieves the file under the original time of the requested version. Use this option with care, as it may be in conflict with make (1) rules. Using ` "get -o" ' thus may cause make to perform an automatic retrieval of the latest version as the s. file is newer than the gotten file, or cause make to skip the compilation as the compilation result is already newer than the gotten file.

-s Suppresses all output normally written on the standard output. However, fatal error messages (which always go to the standard error) remain unaffected.

-f In NSE mode, force to create a delta even when no p. file is present.

-q Switch on NSE mode.

-y [ comment ] Supply a comment for the delta commentary. If -y is omitted, delta prompts for a comment. A null comment results in an empty comment field for the delta.

The options -f and -q are \s-1SCHILY\s+1 extensions that do not exist in historic sccs implementations.

EXAMPLES

To check in a new delta for the file xec.c in the current directory call:

"sccs delget xec.c"
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See environ (5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of sccs-delget (1) and sccs-deledit (1): LANG , LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE , LC_MESSAGES , and NLSPATH .

SCCS_NO_HELP If set, sccs delget end sccs deledit 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 .
