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

NAME
     sccs-histfile -  convert a g-filename into the s-filename counterpart

SYNOPSIS
     sccs histfile pathname

DESCRIPTION
     The  sccs histfile subcommand converts a g-filename into the appropriate s-
     filename counterpart that is used for SCCS history files.

     While sccs(1) in former times just added SCCS/s.  before the last path name
     component, there is now support for off-tree history files that are located
     inside a directory .sccs in the project root directory.  The histfile  sub-
     command  knows which operating mode is currently in use and returns the ap-
     propriate path to the history file.

     If the pathname argument refers to a directory, the result is the directory
     that holds the SCCS history files for the files in that directory.

     This subcommand is an extension that does not exist in historic sccs imple-
     mentations.

OPTIONS
     None

EXAMPLES
     To retrieve the SCCS history filename for the file xec.c in the current di-
     rectory call:

	    sccs histfile xec.c

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If	set,  sccs histfile 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.
