NAME
       rlog - print log messages and other information on RCS files

SYNOPSIS
       [options] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       prints  information  about  RCS	files.	Files ending in are RCS files; all others are working files.  If a working file is given, tries to
       find the corresponding RCS file first in directory then in the current directory, as explained in rcsintro(5).

       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),	access	list, locks, symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions selected for printing, and descriptive
       text.  This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch.  For  each  revision,  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, prints complete information.  The options below restrict this output.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Print information about revisions
			     whose check-in date and time fall within the ranges given by the semicolon-separated list of dates.  A range  of  the
			     form  or selects the revisions that were deposited between d1 and d2 (inclusive).	A range of the form or selects all
			     revisions dated d or earlier.  A range of the form or 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 format
			     explained in co(1).  Quoting is normally necessary, especially for and Note that the separator is a semicolon.

	      Print only     RCS file name, working file name, head, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.

	      Print 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.

	      Ignore	     RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in combination with or

	      Print 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, means revi-
			     sions from the beginning of the branch up to and including rev, and means revisions starting with rev to the head	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.

	      Print only the name of the
			     RCS file; convenient for translating a working file name into an RCS file name.

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

	      Print the same as
			     plus the descriptive text.

	      Prints information about revisions checked in by users
			     whose login names appearing in the comma-separated list logins.  If logins is omitted, the user's login is assumed.

       prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options and

EXAMPLES
       Print the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory named that have locks:

       Print the headers of those files:

       Print the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions:

       Print complete log information:

       Print the header and log messages of all revisions checked in after 1:00am on December 25th, 1991:

       Print the header and log messages of those revisions that were created between 10:00am and 2:00pm on July 4th, 1992:

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