rlogdisplay information about RCS files

rlog [-bhLNRtV] [-ddates] [-l[lockers]] [-r[revs]] [-sstates] [-w[logins]] [-xsuffixes] [-ztz] file ...

The rlog program displays information about RCS files.

A file's complete RCS history can be displayed (the default if no options are specified) or a subset of its history log can be requested, depending on which options are specified. RCS keywords are displayed using the ident(1) utility.

The following options are supported:

Print information about revisions of the default branch only.
dates
Specify revisions with dates matching the specification. The specification might be as follows:
date1<date2 or date2>date1
Select all revisions between date1 and date2.
<date or date>
Select all revisions before date.
>date or date<
Select all revisions after date.
date
Select the latest revision before or equal to date.

The ‘>’ and ‘<’ characters can be followed by the ‘=’ character to imply an inclusive specification. Several specifications can be used by separating them with the ‘;’ character.

See also the -z option, below.

Print the RCS header, describing a file's branch, lock details, symbolic names, etc.
Ignore RCS files with no locks set.
[lockers]
Print information about locked revisions only. If a comma-separated list of login names is specified, ignore all locks other than those held in the list.
Do not print symbolic names.
Print name of RCS file only.
[revs]
Specify revision(s) to list:
rev1,rev2,...
A list of revisions is specified by separating names or numbers of revisions by the ‘,’ character.
rev1:rev2
List all revisions between rev1 and rev2 (they must be on the same branch).
:rev
List all revisions since the beginning of the branch until rev included.
rev:
List all revisions of the branch beginning with rev.
branch
List all revisions of a branch.
branch.
List the latest revision of the branch branch.
branch1:branch2
List all revisions of branches between branch1 and branch2.

Without argument, the -r option means the latest revision of the default branch.

states
Print information about revisions whose state matches one of the specified states. Multiple states may be specified as a comma-separated list.
Print header and description only.
Print RCS's version number.
[logins]
Print information about revisions checked in by users specified in a comma-separated list. If logins is omitted, the user's login is assumed.
suffixes
Specifies the suffixes for RCS files. Suffixes should be separated by the ‘/’ character.
tz
Specify the date output format. The tz argument should be a numeric UTC offset (e.g. +02:45 would specify an offset of 2 hours 45 minutes). ‘LT’ may instead be used to specify local time. If no argument is given, a default format is used. This option is also used to set the default time zone for dates used in the -d option.

If set, this variable should contain a list of space-delimited options that are prepended to the argument list.

The rlog utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Print complete information about files:

$ rlog RCS/*

Print the names of RCS files with locks set:

$ rlog -L -R RCS/*

ci(1), co(1), ident(1), rcs(1), rcsclean(1), rcsdiff(1), rcsmerge(1)

The flags [-qT] have no effect and are provided for compatibility only.
