MPE/iX Shell and Utilities Reference Manual, Vol 1

ci(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities ci(1)
Files
The person who enters the command must have read/write permission for the directories con-
taining the RCS file and the working file, and read permission for the RCS file itself. A number
of temporary files are created. A semaphore file is created in the directory containing the RCS
file. ci always creates a new
RCS file and unlinks the old one. This strategy makes links to
RCS files useless.
DIAGNOSTICS
Possible exit status values are:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred while checking in one of the specified files.
For each revision, ci prints the RCS file, the working file, and the number of both the
checked-in and the preceding revision (unless you use –q to request quiet mode).
