 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      rlog - print log messages and other information on RCS files

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      rlog [options] file ...

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      rlog prints information about RCS files.  Files ending in ,v are RCS
      files; all others are working files.  If a working file is given, rlog
      tries to find the corresponding RCS file first in directory ./RCS,
      then in the current directory, as explained in rcsintro(5).

      rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS file
      name, working file name, head (i.e., the number of the latest revision
      on the trunk), access list, locks, symbolic names, suffix, total
      number of revisions, number of revisions selected for printing, and
      descriptive text.  This is followed by entries for the selected
      revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch.  For each
      revision, rlog prints revision number, author, date/time, state,
      number of lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision),
      locker of the revision (if any), and log message.  Without options,
      rlog prints complete information.  The options below restrict this
      output.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      rlog recognizes the following options:

           -ddates        Print information about revisions whose check-in
                          date and time fall within the ranges given by the
                          semicolon-separated list of dates.  A range of the
                          form d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that
                          were deposited between d1 and d2 (inclusive).  A
                          range of the form <d or d> selects all revisions
                          dated d or earlier.  A range of the form d< or >d
                          selects all revisions dated d or later.  A range
                          of the form d selects the single, latest revision
                          dated d or earlier.  The date/time strings d, d1,
                          and d2 are in the format explained in co(1).
                          Quoting is normally necessary, especially for <
                          and >.  Note that the separator is a semicolon.

           -h             Print only RCS file name, working file name, head,
                          access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.

           -l[lockers]    Print information about locked revisions.  If the
                          comma-separated list lockers of login names is
                          given, only the revisions locked by the given
                          login names are printed.  If the list is omitted,
                          all locked revisions are printed.

 rlog(1)                                                             rlog(1)




           -L             Ignore RCS files that have no locks set;
                          convenient in combination with -R, -h, or -l.

           -rrevisions    Print information about revisions given in the
                          comma-separated list revisions of revisions and
                          ranges.  A range rev1-rev2 means revisions rev1 to
                          rev2 on the same branch, -rev means revisions from
                          the beginning of the branch up to and including
                          rev, and rev- means revisions starting with rev to
                          the head of the branch containing rev.  An
                          argument that is a branch means all revisions on
                          that branch.  A range of branches means all
                          revisions on the branches in that range.

           -R             Print only the name of the RCS file; convenient
                          for translating a working file name into an RCS
                          file name.

           -sstates       Print information about revisions whose state
                          attributes match one of the states given in the
                          comma-separated list states.

           -t             Print the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.

           -w[logins]     Prints information about revisions checked in by
                          users whose login names appearing in the commaseparated
 list logins.  If logins is omitted, the
                          user's login is assumed.

      rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the
      options -d, -l, -s, -w, and -r.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      Print the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory named RCS that
      have locks:

           rlog -L -R RCS/*,v

      Print the headers of those files:

           rlog -L -h RCS/*,v

      Print the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions:

           rlog -L -l RCS/*,v

      Print complete log information:

           rlog RCS/*,v

      Print the header and log messages of all revisions checked in after
      1:00am on December 25th, 1991:

           rlog -d">12/25/92, 1:00" RCS/*,v

      Print the header and log messages of those revisions that were created
      between 10:00am and 2:00pm on July 4th, 1992:

 DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
      The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated upon, and
      is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 if unsuccessful.
