NAME
rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS
files
SYNOPSIS
rlog [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
rlog prints information about RCS files.
Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote RCS files; all
others denote working files. Names are paired as explained
in ci(1).
rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS
pathname, working pathname, 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. All times are displayed in
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Without options, rlog
prints complete information. The options below restrict
this output.
-L Ignore RCS files that have no locks set. This is
convenient in combination with -h, -l, and -R.
-R Print only the name of the RCS file. This is convenient
for translating a working pathname into an RCS pathname.
-h Print only the RCS pathname, working pathname, head,
default branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and
suffix.
-t Print the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
-b Print information about the revisions on the default
branch, normally the highest branch on the trunk.
-ddates
Print 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(1). Quoting is normally
necessary, especially for < and >. Note that the
separator is a semicolon.
-l[lockers]
Print information about locked revisions only. In
addition, if the comma-separated list lockers of login
names is given, ignore all locks other than those held
by the lockers. For example, rlog -L -R -lwft RCS/*
prints the name of RCS files locked by the user wft.
-r[revisions]
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. A branch followed by a .
means the latest revision in that branch. A bare -r
with no revisions means the latest revision on the
default branch, normally the trunk.
-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.
-Vn Emulate RCS version n when generating logs. See co(1)
for more.
-xsuffixes
Use suffixes to characterize RCS files. See ci(1) for
details.
rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with
the options -d, -l, -s, and -w, intersected with the union
of the revisions selected by -b and -r.
EXAMPLES
rlog -L -R RCS/*
rlog -L -h RCS/*
rlog -L -l RCS/*
rlog RCS/*
The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the
subdirectory RCS that 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.
ENVIRONMENT
RCSINIT
options prepended to the argument list, separated by
spaces. See ci(1) for details.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were
successful.

BUGS
The separator for revision ranges in the -r option used to
be - instead of :, but this leads to confusion when symbolic
names contain -. For backwards compatibility rlog -r still
supports the old - separator, but it warns about this
obsolete use.
