ident —
identify RCS keyword strings in files
The
ident program searches for the pattern
$keyword:... $ from the
files specified as
argument (or standard input if none are given). See the KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION
section of
rcs(1) for more
information.
The following options are supported:
-
-
-q- Quiet mode: suppress warnings if no pattern found.
-
-
-V- Display version information and exit.
The
ident utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
Given the following source code in file
foo.c:
#include <stdio.h>
static char const rcsid[] =
"$Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $";
int
main(void) {
printf("%s\n", rcsid);
return (0);
}
Compile it and run
ident:
$ ident foo.c foo.o
foo.c:
$Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $
foo.o:
$Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $
