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

NAME
     sccs-create, sccs-enter - create (initialize) history files

SYNOPSIS
     sccs create [options] [file1 .. filen]
     sccs enter [options] [file1 .. filen]

DESCRIPTION
     The  create  subcommand  creates  an SCCS file, taking the initial contents
     from the file of the same name.  Any flags to admin are accepted.	 If  the
     creation  is  successful,	the files are renamed with a comma on the front.
     These should be removed when you are convinced that  the  SCCS  files  have
     been created successfully.

     sccs create performs the following steps:

	  o	 Creates  the history file called s.program.c in the SCCS subdi-
		 rectory.

	  o	 Renames the original source file to ,program.c in  the  current
		 directory.

	  o	 Performs  an  `sccs  get'  on program.c to retrieve a read-only
		 copy of the initial version.

     The enter subcommand is similar to the sccs create command,  but  it  omits
     the  final  `sccs	get'.	This can be used if an `sccs edit' is to be per-
     formed immediately after the history file is initialized.

OPTIONS
     Options are passed to the admin program, e.g.:

     -o     Use the original file time instead of the current time for the  time
	    of the initial delta.

EXAMPLES
     To create a new SCCS repository for the file xec.c in the current directory
     call:

	    sccs create xec.c

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If set, sccs create 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.
