sccs-sact(1)			 User Commands			  sccs-sact(1)

NAME
       sccs-sact, sact - show editing activity status of an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/ccs/bin/sact [-s]
	   [-Xextended-options]	[-Nbulk-spec] s.filename...

DESCRIPTION
       The  sact  utility  informs the user of any SCCS	files that are checked
       out for editing.

       The output for each named file consists of  five	 fields	 separated  by
       SPACE characters.

	   o	  SID  of  a  delta that currently exists in the SCCS file, to
		  which	changes	will be	made to	make the new delta

	   o	  SID for the new delta	to be created

	   o	  Username of the person who has  the  file  checked  out  for
		  editing.

	   o	  Date that the	version	was checked out.

	   o	  Time that the	version	was checked out.

       If  a  directory	 name is used in place of the s.filename argument, the
       sact command applies to	all  s.files  in  that	directory.  Unreadable
       s.files	produce	 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
       -s     Suppresses the error  message  when  a  file  is	not  currently
	      edited.

       -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 sccslog 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	 sccslog  command  are
			s.filename files.  The the g-files names are automati-
			cally  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 directory.

	      -Ndir	The  file  name	 parameters to the sccslog 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 sccslog 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 scc-
	      slog(1) and to send a list of path names to stdin.

       -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	abbre-
	      viated 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 his-
	      toric sccs implementations.

       -V
       -version
       --version
	      Prints the sact version number string and	exists.

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

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

       SCCS_NO_HELP
	      If  set,	sact(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.

       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:

       +------------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |       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
       admin(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  Microsys-
       tems.   Since  2006,  the  SCCS	suite  has  been  maintained  by Joerg
       Schilling and the schilytools project authors.
