sccs-istext(1)		    Schily's USER COMMANDS		sccs-istext(1)

NAME
       sccs-istext - check whether files are text files	or need	to be encoded

SYNOPSIS
       sccs istext [options] [file1 .. filen]

DESCRIPTION
       The sccs	istext subcommand checks whether the files are pure text files
       or whether they need to be encoded.

       This  subcommand	 is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic
       sccs implementations.

OPTIONS
       -D     Print the	current	default	history	file format. This is the  his-
	      tory  file  format assumed in case that neither -V4 nor -V6 have
	      been specified.  No file argument	is permitted when this	option
	      has been specified.

       -s     Be silent. If all	files are pure text, the exit code is 0.

       -V4    Check  with  SCCS	v4  rules.  A file is not pure text if it con-
	      tains one	or more	null characters, if a line  starts  with  \001
	      (^A) or if the file does not end with a newline character.

       -V6    Check  with  SCCS	v6  rules.  A file is not pure text if it con-
	      tains one	or more	null characters.

EXAMPLES
       To check	whether	the file xec.c in the current directory	is a pure text
       file, call:

	      sccs istext xec.c

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       See environ(7) for descriptions of the following	environment  variables
       that  affect  the  execution of sccs-istext(1): LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE,
       LC_MESSAGES, and	NLSPATH.

       SCCS_NO_HELP
	      If set, sccs istext 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.
