 sccs-histfile 1 "2020/06/29" "J\*org Schilling" "Schily\'s USER COMMANDS"
 NAME
sccs-histfile - convert a g-filename into the s-filename counterpart

 SYNOPSIS
 sccs histfile
 pathname 
 DESCRIPTION
The
 sccs histfile subcommand converts a g-filename into the appropriate s-filename counterpart
that is used for SCCS history files.


While
 sccs (1) in former times just added
 SCCS/s. before the last path name component, there is now support for
 off-tree history files that are located inside a directory
 .sccs in the
 project root directory.
The
 histfile subcommand knows which operating mode is currently in use and
returns the appropriate path to the history file.
If the
 pathname argument refers to a directory, the result is the directory that holds
the SCCS history files for the files in that directory.



This subcommand is an extension that does not exist in historic
 sccs implementations.
. \" .SH RETURNS
. \" .SH ERRORS

 OPTIONS

None


 EXAMPLES

To retrieve the
 SCCS history filename for the file
 xec.c in the current directory call:

 "sccs histfile xec.c" 
 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

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




 SCCS_NO_HELP If set,
 sccs histfile 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 .
