14       _I_d_e_n_t  searches  the  named  files  or,  if  no  file name
15       appears, the standard input for  all  occurrences  of  the

29       These  patterns are normally inserted automatically by the
30       RCS command _c_o(1L), but can also be inserted manually. The
31       option  --qq  suppresses  the  warning given if there are no
32       patterns in a file.
33
34       _I_d_e_n_t works on text files as  well  as  object  files  and
35       dumps.  For example, if the C program in file f.c contains
36
37               char rcsid[] = "$Header:  Header information $";
38
39       and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
40
41               ident  f.c  f.o
42
43       will print
44
45               f.c:
46                       $Header:  Header information $
47               f.o:
