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

NAME
     sccs-diffs -  compare the working copy of a file with the SCCS history

SYNOPSIS
     sccs diffs [options] [file1 .. filen]
     sccs ldiffs [options] [file1 .. filen]

DESCRIPTION
     The  diffs  subcommand  compares  (in diff(1) format) the working copy of a
     file that is checked out for editing, with a version from the SCCS history.
     sccs diffs uses the most recent checked-in version by  default.  The  diffs
     subcommand accepts the same options as diff.

     Any  -r, -c, -i, -x, and -t options are passed to subcommand get.	A -C op-
     tion is passed to diff as -c.  An -I option is passed to diff as -i.

     The diffs subcommand calls the UNIX diff(1) command that is delivered  with
     the  SCCS	packet. If you like to call the local diff(1) command that is in
     your PATH, use the ldiffs subcommand.

OPTIONS
     All diff(1) options are supported and the following SCCS options:

     -c date-time | -cdate-time
	    Use the most recent version checked in before the indicated date and
	    time    for    comparison.	   date-time	 takes	   the	   form:
	    yy[mm[dd[hh[mm[ss]]]]].  Omitted units default to their maximum pos-
	    sible values; that is -c7502 is equivalent to -c750228235959.

     -r[sid]
	    Use the version corresponding to the indicated SID (delta).

	    See sccs-get(1) formore information on the SID.

EXAMPLES
     To  compare  the  file  xec.c in the current directory with te state in the
     SCCS history call:

	    sccs diffs xec.c

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If set, sccs diffs 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.
