sccs-unget(1)			  User Commands 		   sccs-unget(1)

NAME
     sccs-unget, unget - undo a previous get of an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ccs/bin/unget [-ns] [-q[nsedelim]] [-rsid]
	 [-Nbulk-spec] s.filename...

DESCRIPTION
     The unget utility undoes the effect of a get -e command executed before the
     creation of the pending delta.

     If  a directory name is used in place of the s.filename argument, the unget
     command applies to all s.files in that directory. Unreadable  s.files  pro-
     duce an error; processing continues with the next file (if any). The use of
     `-'  as the s.filename argument indicates that the names of files are to be
     read from the standard input, one s.file per line.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -n     Retains the retrieved version, which is otherwise removed.

     -s     Suppress display of the SCCS delta ID (SID).

     -rsid  When multiple versions are checked out, this option specifies  which
	    pending delta to abort. A diagnostic results if the specified SID is
	    ambiguous, or if it is necessary but omitted from the command line.

     -q[nsedelim]
	    Enable NSE mode.  If NSE mode is enabled, several NSE related exten-
	    sions  may	be  used.  In this release, the value of nsedelim is ig-
	    nored.

	    This option is an undocumented SUN extension that does not exist  in
	    historic sccs implementations.

     -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 `++', unget(1) expects to
		      process filenames that are prepended by a plus  sign,  the
		      related SID and another plus sign following the form:

			  +sid+filename

		      This  permits each file to be retrieved with an individual
		      SID.

	    space     This is a placeholder dummy flag that allows one to use  a
		      prepared string for the -N option and to replace 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 unget 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 unget command are  s.file-
		      name  files.   The the g-files names are automatically de-
		      rived 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 directory.

	    -Ndir     The  file  name  parameters  to  the unget 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 unget command are  s.file-
		      name  files  in  directory dir.  The the g-files names are
		      automatically derived by removing dir/s.	from the  begin-
		      ning 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  unget(1)  and
	    to send a list of path names to stdin.

	    This  option  is  a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic
	    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 abbrevi-
	    ated as long ad the abbreviation is still unique. Options with para-
	    meter 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  arbi-
		   trary 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 unget version number string and exists.

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

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If set, unget(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.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0	  Successful completion.

     1	  An error occurred.

FILES
     p.file
	    permissions  (lock)  file for checked-out versions.  See sccs-get(1)
	    for a description of the layout of the p.file.

     q.file
	    temporary copy of the p.file; renamed to the p.file after completion

     z.file
	    temporary lock file contains the binary process id in host byte  or-
	    der followed by the host name

     dump.core
	    If	the  file  dump.core exists in the current directory and a fatal
	    signal is received, a coredump is initiated via abort(3).

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

     +------------------------------+-----------------------------+
     |	     ATTRIBUTE TYPE	    |	   ATTRIBUTE VALUE	  |
     +------------------------------+-----------------------------+
     | Availability		    |SUNWsprot			  |
     +------------------------------+-----------------------------+
     | Interface Stability	    |Standard			  |

AUTHORS
     The SCCS suite was originally written by Marc J. 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.
