prt(1bsd)

prt -- (BSD) display the delta and commentary history of an SCCS file

Synopsis

   /usr/ucb/prt [-abdefistu] [-y[SID]] [-c[cutoff]
   	[-r[rev-cutoff]] file . . .

Description

Note: the prt command is an older version of prs(1) that in most circumstances is more convenient to use, but is less flexible than prs.

prt prints part or all of an SCCS file in a useful format. If a directory is named, prt behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the pathname does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of `-' is given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed. Again, non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored.

The following options are available with prt:

-a

Print those types of deltas normally not printed by the d keyletter. These are types R (removed). This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

-b

Print the body of the SCCS file.

-d

This keyletter normally prints delta table entries of the D type.

-e

This keyletter implies the d, i, u, f, and t keyletters and is provided for convenience.

-f

Print the flags of the named file.

-i

Print the serial numbers of those deltas included, excluded, and ignored. This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

The following format is used to print those portions of the SCCS file as specified by the above keyletters. The printing of each delta table entry is preceded by a NEWLINE.

Type of delta (D or R).
<Space>.
SCCS identification string (SID).
TAB.
Date and time of creation (in the form YY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS).
<Space>.
Creator.
TAB.
Serial number.
<Space>.
Predecessor delta's serial number.
TAB.
Statistics (in the form inserted/deleted/unchanged).
NEWLINE.
``Included:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas included, followed by NEWLINE (only if there were any such deltas and if i keyletter was supplied).
``Excluded:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas excluded, followed by NEWLINE (see note above).
``Ignored:TAB'', followed by SID's of deltas ignored, followed by NEWLINE (see note above).
``MRs:TAB'', followed by MR numbers related to the delta, followed by NEWLINE (only if any MR numbers were supplied).
Lines of comments (delta commentary), followed by newline (if any were supplied).

-s

Print only the first line of the delta table entries; that is, only up to the statistics. This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

-t

Print the descriptive text contained in the file.

-u

Print the login-names and/or numerical group IDs of those users allowed to make deltas.

-y[SID]

Print the delta table entries to stop when the delta just printed has the specified SID. If no delta in the table has the specified SID, the entire table is printed. If no SID is specified, the first delta in the delta table is printed. This keyletter will print the entire delta table entry for each delta as a single line (the NEWLINE in the normal multi-line format of the d keyletter are replaced by <Space> characters) preceded by the name of the SCCS file being processed, followed by a :, followed by a TAB. This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

-c[cutoff]

Stop printing the delta table entries if the delta about to be printed is older than the specified cutoff date-time (see get(1) for the format of date-time). If no date-time is supplied, the epoch 0000 GMT Jan. 1, 1970 is used. As with the y keyletter, this keyletter will cause the entire delta table entry to be printed as a single line and to be preceded by the name of the SCCS file being processed, followed by a :, followed by a tab. This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

-r[rev-cutoff]

Begin printing the delta table entries when the delta about to be printed is older than or equal to the specified cutoff date-time (see get(1) for the format of date-time). If no date-time is supplied, the epoch 0000 GMT Jan. 1, 1970 is used. (In this case, nothing will be printed). As with the y keyletter, this keyletter will cause the entire delta table entry to be printed as a single line and to be preceded by the name of the SCCS file being processed, followed by a :, followed by a tab. This keyletter is effective only if the d keyletter is also specified (or assumed).

If any keyletter but y, c, or r is supplied, the name of the file being processed (preceded by one NEWLINE and followed by two NEWLINE characters) is printed before its contents.

If none of the u, f, t, or b keyletters is supplied, the d keyletter is assumed.

Note: the s and i keyletters, and the c and r keyletters are mutually exclusive; therefore, they may not be specified together on the same prt command.

The form of the delta table as produced by the y, c, and r keyletters makes it easy to sort multiple delta tables in chronological order.

When both the y and c or the y and r keyletters are supplied, prt will stop printing when the first of the two conditions is met.
