NAME

       rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS files

SYNOPSIS

       rlog [ options ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Rlog  prints  information  about  RCS files.  Files ending in `,v' are RCS files, all others are working files. If a working file is given,
       rlog tries to find the corresponding RCS file first in directory ./RCS and then in the current directory, as explained in co(1L).

       Rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS file name, working file name, head (i.e., the number of the latest revision on
       the  trunk), default branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions selected for print-
       ing, and descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch. For  each
       revision,  rlog	prints	revision  number, author, date/time, state, number of lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision),
       locker of the revision (if any), and log message.  Without options, rlog prints complete information.  The options below restrict this out-
       put.

       -L	 ignores RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in combination with -R, -h, or -l.

       -R	 only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient for translating a working file name into an RCS file name.

       -h	 prints only RCS file name, working file name, head, default branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.

       -t	 prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.

       -b	 prints information about the revisions on the default branch (normally the highest branch on the trunk).

       -ddates	 prints  information  about  revisions	with  a checkin date/time in the ranges given by the semicolon-separated list of dates.  A
		 range of the form d1<d2 or d2>d1 selects the revisions that were deposited between d1 and d2, (inclusive).  A range of  the  form
		 <d or d> selects all revisions dated d or earlier.  A range of the form d< or >d selects all revisions dated d or later.  A range
		 of the form d selects the single, latest revision dated d or earlier.	The date/time strings d, d1, and d2 are in the free format
		 explained in co(1L).  Quoting is normally necessary, especially for < and >. Note that the separator is a semicolon.

       -l[lockers]
		 prints  information  about  locked  revisions.   If  the comma-separated list lockers of login names is given, only the revisions
		 locked by the given login names are printed.  If the list is omitted, all locked revisions are printed.

       -rrevisions
		 prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list revisions of revisions and ranges. A range  rev1-rev2  means
		 revisions  rev1  to  rev2  on the same branch, -rev means revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and including rev, and
		 rev- means revisions starting with rev to the end of the branch containing rev. An argument that is a branch means all  revisions
		 on that branch. A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in that range.

       -sstates  prints information about revisions whose state attributes match one of the states given in the comma-separated list states.

       -w[logins]
		 prints  information about revisions checked in by users with login names appearing in the comma-separated list logins.  If logins
		 is omitted, the user's login is assumed.

       Rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options -d, -l, -s,  -w,  intersected  with  the  union	of  the  revisions
       selected by -b and -r.

EXAMPLES

	       rlog  -L  -R  RCS/*,v
	       rlog  -L  -h  RCS/*,v
	       rlog  -L  -l  RCS/*,v
	       rlog  RCS/*,v

       The  first  command  prints the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory `RCS' which have locks. The second command prints the headers of
       those files, and the third prints the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions.  The last command prints complete information.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated upon, and is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
