sccs-rcs2sccs(1)	     Schily's USER COMMANDS		sccs-rcs2sccs(1)

NAME
     sccs-rcs2sccs, rcs2sccs - convert RCS files into SCCS files

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ccs/bin/rcs2sccs [-rm] [-V6] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
     rcs2sccs  converts RCS history files into SCCS history files.  If a list of
     files is specified, this list is converted.  If no file arguments are spec-
     ified, all RCS files in the current directory are converted.

     This program is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic sccs im-
     plementations.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -rm	  Remove the RCS history files on success.

     -V6	  Convert into SCCS v6 history files.

     -V
     -version
     --version	  Prints the rcs2sccs version number string and exists.

     -help	  Print a short usage overview and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables that
     affect the execution of rcs2sccs(1): LANG,  LC_ALL,  LC_COLLATE,  LC_CTYPE,
     LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If	set,  rcs2sccs(1)  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.

FILES
     /tmp/rcs2sccs_*
		  temporary files

ATTRIBUTES
     See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:

DIAGNOSTICS
     Use the SCCS help command for explanations of messages. See sccs-help(1).

NOTES
     While RCS records time stamps in GMT, SCCS uses local time.  When a SCCS v6
     history file is created, rcs2sccs converts the time stamps to SCCS GMT time
     stamps with GMT offset +0000 which can co-exist with time stamps  in  local
     time.

     When a SCCS v4 history file is created, converting from RCS to SCCS is done
     by  literally  transforming  the  time stamps and thus keeping the GMT time
     base which may differ from local time.  If you like  to  convert  the  time
     stamps in the resulting SCCS files to a local timebase, call:

	 TZ=GMT sccs cvt -V6 SCCS
	 sccs cvt -V4 -d SCCS

     But note that this conversion may not be correctly converted back to GMT in
     case  that  time stamps exists in the overlapping period of wall clock time
     that appears when switching from DST to non-DST.
