NAME
     ident -- identify RCS keyword string in files

SYNOPSIS
     ident [-q] [-V] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  ident  utility  searches  for  all instances of the pattern `$keyword:
     text$' in files.

     If no arguments are passed, then ident parses the standard input.

     keyword must only be composed of alphanumeric values in the C locale,  fol-
     lowed by `:' and a space.

     These options are supported:

     -q, --quiet
	  Quiet mode: suppress warnings if no pattern found.

     -V, --version
	  Do nothing, added for compatibility with GNU ident.

EXIT STATUS
     The ident utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

AUTHORS
     This  version  of	the  ident  utility  was  written  by Baptiste Daroussin
     <bapt@FreeBSD.org> and Dag-Erling Smorgrav <des@FreeBSD.org>.
