sccs-editor(1) Schily's USER COMMANDS sccs-editor(1) NAME sccs-editor - Edit a file whether or not it is controlled by SCCS SYNOPSIS sccs editor [editor options] file1 .. filen DESCRIPTION Edit a file whether or not is is controlled by SCCS. If a file is con- trolled by SCCS and currently not checked out for editing, the file is checked out for editing first and then edited. If the file is not un- der control of SCCS, the editor is called directly. The SCCS_EDITOR or EDITOR environment variable must be set appropri- ately in order to call a custom editor. A way to hide the fact that files need to checked out for editing first, is to set SCCS_EDITOR and then alias the editor, e.g.: SCCS_EDITOR=ved alias ved='sccs editor' Note that in order to minimize the side effects of calling the alias `ved *', sccs editor will call unget(1) or sccs unedit on all files that have not been modified by the edit session and that have not been checked out for editing before. This subcommand is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic sccs implementations. EXAMPLES To edit the file xec.c in the current directory call: sccs editor xec.c ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of sccs-editor(1): EDITOR, SCCS_EDITOR, LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH. SCCS_NO_HELP If set, sccs editor will not automatically call help(1) with the SCCS error code in order to print a more helpful error message. Scripts that depend on the exact error messages of SCCS commands should set the environment variable SCCS_NO_HELP and set LC_ALL=C.
