NAME
ident - identify files SYNOPSIS
ident file ... DESCRIPTION
Ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$, where keyword is one of Author Date Header Locker Log Revision Source State These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command co (1), but can also be inserted manually. Ident works on text files as well as object files. For example, if the C program in file f.c contains char rcsid[] = "$Header: Header information $"; and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command ident f.c f.o will print f.c: $Header: Header information $ f.o: $Header: Header information $ IDENTIFICATION

NAME
ident - identify files SYNOPSIS
ident [-q] [file...] DESCRIPTION
ident searches for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$ in the named files or, if no file name appears, the standard input. These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command co(1), but can also be inserted manually. The option -q suppresses the warning given if there are no patterns in a file. ident works on text files as well as object files and dumps. For example, if the C program in f.c contains char rcsid[] = "$Id: ident.1,v 1.1.10.2 1999/08/13 19:58:10 Colin_Walters Exp $"; and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command # ident f.c f.o will output f.c: $Id: ident.1,v 1.1.10.2 1999/08/13 19:58:10 Colin_Walters Exp $ f.o: $Id: ident.1,v 1.1.10.2 1999/08/13 19:58:10 Colin_Walters Exp $ IDENTIFICATION
