NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       rcsmerge - merge RCS revisions

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       rcsmerge [options] file

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Use  subst  style  keyword  substitution.   See  co(1) for
       details. For example, -kk -r1.1 -r1.2 ignores  differences
       in  keyword  values  when  merging the changes from 1.1 to
       1.2.  Send the result to standard output instead of  overwriting
 the working file.  Run quietly; do not print diagnostics.
  Merge with respect to  revision  rev.   Here  an
       empty  rev  stands  for the latest revision on the default
       branch, normally the head.  Emulate  RCS  version  n.  See
       co(1)  for  details.   Use  suffixes  to  characterize RCS
       files. See ci(1) for details.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       rcsmerge incorporates the changes between two revisions of
       an RCS file into the corresponding working file.

       Pathnames  matching  an  RCS  suffix denote RCS files; all
       others denote working files. Names are paired as explained
       in ci(1).

       At  least  one  revision must be specified with one of the
       options described below, usually -r. At most two revisions
       may  be specified.  If only one revision is specified, the
       latest revision on the default branch (normally the  highest
  branch  on the trunk) is assumed for the second revision.
  Revisions may be specified numerically or  symbolically.


       rcsmerge  prints  a  warning  if  there  are overlaps, and
       delimits the overlapping regions as explained in merge(1).
       The  command  is  useful  for incorporating changes into a
       checked-out revision.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Suppose you have released revision  2.8  of  f.c.   Assume
       furthermore that after you complete an unreleased revision
       3.4, you receive updates to release 2.8 from someone else.
       To combine the updates to 2.8 and your changes between 2.8
       and 3.4, put the updates to 2.8 into file f.c and  execute
       rcsmerge -p -r2.8 -r3.4f.c >f.merged.c

       Then  examine  f.merged.c.  Alternatively,  if you want to
       save the updates to 2.8 in the RCS file, check them in  as
       revision  2.8.1.1  and  execute co -j: ci -r2.8.1.1 f.c co
       -r3.4 -j2.8:2.8.1.1 f.c

       As another  example,  the  following  command  undoes  the
       changes  between  revision  2.4  and 2.8 in your currently
       checked out revision in f.c.  rcsmerge -r2.8 -r2.4 f.c

       Note the order of the arguments,  and  that  f.c  will  be
       overwritten.



ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]

       options  prepended  to  the  argument  list,  separated by
       spaces.  See ci(1) for details.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Exit status is 0 for no overlaps, 1 for some  overlaps,  2
       for trouble.
