Message: no base revision number given

Cause: You speciﬁed one or more invalid revision numbers on the command line.

Action: Check the syntax of the command line options.

Message: No input file.

Cause: You failed to specify an input ﬁle on the command line.

Action: Provide the missing ﬁle name.

Message: no revisions present

Cause: You speciﬁed a ﬁle which has an associated

RCS ﬁle that does not contain any

revisions. This is probably because it was created with ’rcs -i’ and no revisions

have been checked in yet.

Action: rcsmerge will not work with such ﬁles.

Message: too many arguments

Cause: You speciﬁed more than one ﬁle name on the command line.

Action: Specify only one ﬁle name on the rcsmerge command line.

Message: too many revision numbers

Cause: You speciﬁed more than two revision numbers on the command line.

Action: Specify only one or two revision numbers on the command line.

Message: Unknown option "–option"

Cause: You speciﬁed an option that is not valid for rcsmerge.

Action: Check the DESCRIPTION section for a list of valid rcsmerge options.

For a list of error messages common to all

RCS utilities, see rcserror(3).

PORTABILITY

UNIX systems.

The –O option is an extension to traditional implementations of rcsmerge.

LIMITS

rcsmerge does not work on binary ﬁles.

MPE/iX NOTES

The current

MPE/iX implementation of rcsmerge has the following limitations:

• Due to the fact that the comma (,) is not a valid character in MPE/iX ﬁle names, the tradi-

tional ,v naming convention is not currently implemented. This means that you must

have a subdirectory named RCS under your current directory or RCS will not work prop-

erly.

• For compatibility with traditional MPE/iX security features, you can only rename a ﬁle in

an MPE/iX group if you own the ﬁle or if you have SM capability. Because this command

attempts to rename ﬁles to which it may not have write access, this feature can interfere
