RLOG(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 RLOG(1)

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 work-
     ing 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 de-
     scriptive 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 revi-
     sion (if any), and log message.  All times  are  displayed  in  Coordinated
     Universal	Time  (UTC) by default; this can be overridden with -z.  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  combi-
	 nation with -h, -l, and -R.

     -R  Print	only the name of the RCS file.	This is convenient for translat-
	 ing 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.

     -N  Do not print the symbolic names.

     -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  exclusive.  A range of the form <d or d> selects all revi-
	 sions earlier than d.	A range of the form d< or >d selects  all  revi-
	 sions	dated  later than d.  If < or > is followed by = then the ranges
	 are inclusive, not exclusive.	A range of the form d selects  the  sin-
	 gle,  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 semi-
	 colon.

     -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  begin-
	 ning  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, nor-
	 mally 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.

     -T  This  option  has no effect; it is present for compatibility with other
	 RCS commands.

     -V  Print RCS's version number.

     -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.

     -zzone
	    specifies  the  date  output  format, and specifies the default time
	    zone for date in the -ddates option.  The zone should  be  empty,  a
	    numeric  UTC  offset,  or the special string LT for local time.  The
	    default is an empty zone, which uses the traditional RCS  format  of
	    UTC without any time zone indication and with slashes separating the
	    parts  of  the  date; otherwise, times are output in ISO 8601 format
	    with time zone indication.	For example, if local  time  is  January
	    11,  1990,	8pm Pacific Standard Time, eight hours west of UTC, then
	    the time is output as follows:

		   option    time output
		   -z	     1990/01/12 04:00:00	(default)
		   -zLT      1990-01-11 20:00:00-08
		   -z+05:30  1990-01-12 09:30:00+05:30

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  back-
     wards  compatibility  rlog  -r  still  supports the old - separator, but it
     warns about this obsolete use.
