sccs-prt(1)			  User Commands 		     sccs-prt(1)

NAME
     sccs-prt, prt - display delta table information from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ccs/bin/prt [-abdefistu] [-cdate-time] [-rdate-time]
	 [-ysid] [-Xextended-options] [-Nbulk-spec] s.filename...

DESCRIPTION
     prt  prints  selected  portions of an SCCS file.  By default, it prints the
     delta table (version log).

     The output is directly based on text data from the s.files without  conver-
     sion.

     If  a  directory  name is used in place of the s.filename argument, the prt
     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
     If any option other than -y, -c, or -r is supplied, the name of  each  file
     being  processed (preceded by one NEWLINE and followed by two NEWLINE char-
     acters) appears above its contents.

     If none of the -u, -f, -t, or -b options are used, -d is assumed.	 -s,  -i
     are mutually exclusive, as are -c and -r.

     -a 	  Display  log entries for all deltas, including those marked as
		  removed.

     -b 	  Print the body of the s.file.

     -d 	  Print delta table entries.  This is the default.

     -e 	  Everything.  This option implies -d, -i, -u, -f, and -t.

     -f 	  Print the flags of each named s.file.

     -i 	  Print the serial numbers of included,  excluded,  and  ignored
		  deltas.

     -s 	  Print only the first line of the delta table entries; that is,
		  only up to the statistics.

     -t 	  Print the descriptive text contained in the s.file.

     -u 	  Print  the  user-names and/or numerical group IDs of users al-
		  lowed to make deltas.

     -cdate-time  Exclude delta table entries that are specified cutoff date and
		  time. Each entry is printed as a single line, preceded by  the
		  name	of the SCCS file.  This format (also produced by -r, and
		  -y) makes it easy to sort multiple delta tables in chronologi-
		  cal order. When both -y and -c, or -y and -r are supplied, prt
		  stops printing when the first of the two conditions is met.

     -rdate-time  Exclude delta table entries that are newer than the  specified
		  cutoff date and time.

     -ysid	  Exclude  delta  table entries made prior to the SID specified.
		  If no delta in the table has the specified SID, the entire ta-
		  ble is printed.  If no SID is specified, the most recent delta
		  is printed.

     -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:

		  none

		  The following path specifier types are supported:

		  -N	    The file name parameters to the prt 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  prt  command  are
			    s.filename	files.	 The the g-files names are auto-
			    matically derived 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 di-
			    rectory.

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

		  This	option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in his-
		  toric 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  ab-
		  breviated as long ad the abbreviation is still unique. Options
		  with parameter 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 arbitrary 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 prt version number string and exists.

		  This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in  his-
		  toric sccs implementations.

     The following format is used to print those portions of the s.file that are
     specified by the various options.

	 o	NEWLINE

		changed

	 o	NEWLINE

	 o	List  of  included  deltas, followed by a NEWLINE (only if there
		were any such deltas and the -i options was used)

	 o	List of excluded deltas, followed by a NEWLINE	(only  if  there
		were any such deltas and the -i options was used)

	 o	List  of  ignored  deltas,  followed by a NEWLINE (only if there
		were any such deltas and the -i options was used)

	 o	List of modification requests (MRs), followed by a NEWLINE (only
		if any MR numbers were supplied).

	 o	Lines of the delta commentary (if any), followed by a NEWLINE.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1 Examples of prt.

     The following command:

     example% /usr/ccs/bin/prt -y program.c

     produces a one-line display of the delta table entry for  the  most  recent
     version:

     s.program.c:

     D 1.6   88/07/06 21:39:39 username 5 4   00159/00080/00636
     ...

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

     SCCS_NO_HELP
	    If set, prt(1) will not automatically call help(1) with the SCCS er-
	    ror 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
     s.file	    SCCS history file, see sccsfile(5).

     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:

     +------------------------------+-----------------------------+

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.
