sccs-cdc(1) User Commands sccs-cdc(1) NAME sccs-cdc, cdc - change the delta commentary of an SCCS delta SYNOPSIS /usr/ccs/bin/cdc -rsid [-mmr-list] [-q[nsedelim]] [-y[comment]] [-z] [-Xextended-options] [-Nbulk-spec] s.filename... DESCRIPTION cdc annotates the delta commentary for the SCCS delta ID (SID) specified by the -r option in each named s.file. If the v flag is set in the s.file, you can also use cdc to update the Mod- ification Request (MR) list. If you checked in the delta, or, if you own the file and directory and have write permission, you can use cdc to annotate the commentary. Rather than replacing the existing commentary, cdc inserts the new comment you supply, followed by a line of the form: *** CHANGED *** yy/mm/dd hh/mm/ss username above the existing commentary. If a directory is named as the s.filename argument, the cdc command applies to all s.files in that directory. Unreadable s.files produce an error; pro- cessing continues with the next file (if any). If `-' is given as the s.filename argument, each line of the standard input is taken as the name of an SCCS history file to be processed, and the -m and -y options must be used. OPTIONS -rsid Specify the SID of the delta to change. -mmr-list Specify one or more MR numbers to add or delete. When specify- ing more than one MR on the command line, mr-list takes the form of a quoted, space-separated list. To delete an MR num- ber, precede it with a ! character (an empty MR list has no effect). A list of deleted MRs is placed in the comment sec- tion of the delta commentary. If -m is not used and the stan- dard input is a terminal, cdc prompts with MRs? for the list (before issuing the comments? prompt). -m is only useful when the v flag is set in the s.file. If that flag has a value, it is taken to be the name of a program to validate the MR numbers. If that validation program returns a non-zero exit status, cdc terminates and the delta commentary remains unchanged. -Nbulk-spec Processes a bulk of SCCS history files. This option allows one to do an efficient mass processing of SCCS history files. The bulk-spec parameter is composed from an optional list of flag parameters followed by an optional path specifier. The following flag types are supported: ++ If bulk-spec is preceded by a `++', cdc(1) expects to process filenames that are prepended by a plus sign, the related SID and another plus sign follow- ing the form: +sid+filename This permits each file to be retrieved with an indi- vidual SID. space This is a placeholder dummy flag that allows one to use a prepared string for the -N option and to re- place the space character by one of the supported flags on demand. The following path specifier types are supported: -N The file name parameters to the cdc command are not s.filename files but the names of the g-files. The s.filename names are automatically derived from the g-file names by prepending s. to the last path name component. Both, s.filename and the g-file are in the same directory. -Ns. The file name parameters to the cdc command are s.filename files. The the g-files names are auto- matically derived by removing s. from the beginning of last path name component of the s.filename. Both, s.filename and the g-file are in the same di- rectory. -Ndir The file name parameters to the cdc command are not s.filename files but the names of the g-files. The s.filename names are put into directory dir, the names are automatically derived from the g-file names by prepending dir/s. to the last path name component. -Ndir/s. The file name parameters to the cdc command are s.filename files in directory dir. The the g-files names are automatically derived by removing dir/s. from the beginning of last path name component of the s.filename. A typical value for dir is SCCS. In order to overcome the limited number of exec(2) arguments, it is recommended to use `-' as the file name parameter for cdc(1) and to send a list of path names to stdin. This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in his- toric sccs implementations. -Xextended-options Specify extended options. The argument extended-options may be a comma separated list of extended option names. The following extended options are supported, they may be ab- breviated as long ad the abbreviation is still unique. Options with parameter may not be abbreviated. 0 When reading filenames from stdin, triggered by a file name argument `-', the filename separator is a null byte instead of a newline. This allows one to use long lists with arbitrary filenames. help Print a short online help for available options. The -X option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic sccs implementations. -V -version --version Prints the cdc version number string and exists. This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in his- toric sccs implementations. -y[comment] Use comment as the annotation in the delta commentary. The previous comments are retained; the comment is added along with a notation that the commentary was changed. A null com- ment leaves the commentary unaffected. If -y is not specified and the standard input is a terminal, cdc prompts with com- ments? for the text of the notation to be added. An un- escaped NEWLINE character terminates the annotation text. -q[nsedelim] Enable NSE mode. If NSE mode is enabled, several NSE related extensions may be used. In this release, the value of nsede- lim is ignored. This option is an undocumented SUN extension that does not ex- ist in historic sccs implementations. -z Enable CMF extensions for MR number handling. This option is an undocumented SUN extension that does not ex- ist in historic sccs implementations. EXAMPLES Example 1 Changing the annotated commentary The following command: example% cdc -r1.6 -y"corrected commentary" s.program.c produces the following annotated commentary for delta 1.6 in s.program.c: D 1.6 88/07/05 23:21:07 username 9 0 00001/00000/00000 MRs: COMMENTS: corrected commentary *** CHANGED *** 88/07/07 14:09:41 username performance enhancements in main() ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of cdc(1): LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES- SAGES, and NLSPATH. SCCS_NO_HELP If set, cdc(1) will not automatically call help(1) with the SCCS er- ror 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. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 An error occurred. FILES s.file SCCS history file, see sccsfile(5). x.file temporary copy of the s.file; renamed to the s.file after com- pletion z.file temporary lock file contains the binary process id in host byte order followed by the host name dump.core If the file dump.core exists in the current directory and a fa- tal signal is received, a coredump is initiated via abort(3).

Rochkind at Bell Labs in 1972. Release 4.0 of SCCS, introducing new versions of the programs ad- min(1), get(1), prt(1), and delta(1) was published on February 18, 1977; it introduced the new text based SCCS v4 history file format (previous SCCS releases used a binary history file format). The SCCS suite was later maintained by various people at AT&T and Sun Microsystems. Since 2006, the SCCS suite has been maintained by Joerg Schilling and the schilytools project authors.
