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

NAME
     sccs-check,  sccs-info,  sccs-tell  -  print  information	about file being
     edited

SYNOPSIS
     sccs check [options] [directory]
     sccs info [options] [directory]
     sccs tell [options] [directory]

DESCRIPTION
     sccs check checks for files currently being edited. Like info and tell, but
     returns an exit code, rather than producing a listing of files.  check  re-
     turns a non-zero exit status if anything is being edited.	The intent is to
     have  this  included  in  an ``install'' entry in a makefile to insure that
     everything is included into the SCCS file before a version is installed.

     sccs info displays a list of files being edited, including the version num-
     ber checked out, the version to be checked in, the name  of  the  user  who
     holds the lock, and the date and time the file was checked out.

     If  the  -b  flag	is given, branches (i.e., SID's with two or fewer compo-
     nents) are ignored.  If the -u flag is given (with  an  optional  argument)
     then only files being edited by you (or the named user) are listed.

     sccs  tell  displays  the list of files that are currently checked out, one
     file per line.

     If no directory argument is given, the current working directory is used.

OPTIONS
   /usr/bin/sccs
     check [-b] [-u[username] ]

   /usr/xpg4/bin/sccs
     check [-b] [-u [username] | -U ]

     -b

	    Ignore branches.

     -u[username] | -u [username] | -U

	    Check only files being edited by you.  When username  is  specified,
	    check  only files being edited by that user. For /usr/xpg4/bin/sccs,
	    the -U option is equivalent to -u <current_user>.

EXAMPLES
     To create a list of files currently being edited, call:

	    sccs tell

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If set, sccs check, sccs info and sccs tell will  not  automatically
	    call help(1) with the SCCS error code in order to print a more help-
	    ful  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.
