Display RCS History
SYNOPSIS
rlog [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Rlog prints information about RCS files. Files ending in ,v are RCS
files, all others are working files. If a working file is given,
rlog will locate the corresponding RCS file.
Rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS file
name, working file name, head (i.e., the number of the latest
revision on the trunk), default branch, access list, locks, symbolic
names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions
selected for printing, and descriptive text. This is followed by
entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for
each branch. For each revision, rlog prints revision number, author,
date/time, state, number of lines added/deleted (with respect to the
previous revision), locker of the revision (if any), and log message.
Without options, rlog prints complete information. The options below
restrict this output.
-L ignores RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in
combination with -R, -h, or -l.
-R only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient for translating
a working file name into an RCS file name.
-h prints only RCS file name, working file name, head, default
branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.
-t prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
-b prints information about the revisions on the default branch
(normally the highest branch on the trunk).
-ddates prints information about revisions with a checkin date/time in
the ranges given by the semicolon- separated list of dates. A
range of the form d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that were
deposited between d1 and d2, (inclusive). A range of the form <d
or d> selects all revisions dated d or earlier. A range of the
form d< or >d selects all revisions dated d or later. A range of
the form d selects the single, latest revision dated d or
earlier. The date/time strings d, d1, and d2 are in the free
format explained in co. Quoting is sometimes necessary,
especially for < and >. Note that the separator is a semicolon.
-l[lockers]
prints information about locked revisions. If the
comma-separated list lockers of login names is given, only the
revisions locked by the given login names are printed. If the
list is omitted, all locked revisions are printed.
-rrevisions
prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated
list revisions of revisions and ranges. A range rev1-rev2 means
revisions rev1 to rev2 on the same branch, -rev means revisions
from the beginning of the branch up to and including rev, and
rev- means revisions starting with rev to the end of the branch
containing rev. An argument that is a branch means all revisions
on that branch. A range of branches means all revisions on the
branches in that range.
-sstates prints information about revisions whose state attributes match
one of the states given in the comma-separated list states.
-w[logins]
prints information about revisions checked in by users with login
names appearing in the comma- separated list logins. If logins
is omitted, the user's login is assumed.
Rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the
options -d, -l, -s, -w, intersected with the union of the
revisions selected by -b and -r.
EXAMPLES
rlog -L -R RCS/*,v
rlog -L -h RCS/*,v
rlog -L -l RCS/*,v
rlog RCS/*,v
The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the
subdirectory RCS which have locks. The second command prints the
headers of those files, and the third prints the headers plus the log
messages of the locked revisions. The last command prints complete
information.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated upon, and
is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
