MPE/iX Shell and Utilities Reference Manual, Vol 1

ci(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities ci(1)
checked-in revision, rather than computing them locally. It also generates a default
log message noting the login name of the user and the actual check-in date. This
option is useful for software distribution. A revision that is sent to several sites
should be checked in with the –k option at these sites to preserve the original revi-
sion number, date, author, and state. The extracted keyword values and the default
log message may be overridden with the options –r, –d, –s, –w, and –m.
–l[rev]
checks in a new revision of a working file to the corresponding
RCS file, while leav-
ing a locked copy of the working file intact. This is useful for saving a revision when
you want to continue editing it after the check-in.
–mmsg uses the string msg as the log message for all revisions checked in.
–Nname
same as –n, except that it overrides a previous assignment of name.
–nname
assigns the symbolic name name to the number of the checked-in revision. ci prints
an error message if name is already assigned to another revision.
–O ignores any default options found in the local configuration file.
–q[rev]
quiet mode; diagnostic output is not printed. If there is no difference between the
revision being checked in and the previous revision of the file, the new revision is not
checked in unless –f is specified.
–Rdiff_exec
specifies the path name of the diff command to use. This allows you to use your
own system diff for everything but
RCS.
–r[rev]
assigns the revision number rev to the checked-in revision, releases the correspond-
ing lock, and deletes the working file. This is the default. rev may be symbolic or
numeric.
If rev is a revision number, it must be higher than the latest one on the branch to
which rev belongs, or must start a new branch.
If rev is a branch rather than a revision number, the new revision is appended to that
branch. The level number is obtained by incrementing the tip revision number of that
branch. If rev indicates a non-existing branch, that branch is created with the initial
revision numbered rev.1. You can have a mixture of numeric and symbolic parts
when you do this.
If rev is omitted, ci tries to derive the new revision number from the user’s last lock.
