NAME
       sact - print current SCCS file-editing activity (DEVELOPMENT)

SYNOPSIS
       sact file...

DESCRIPTION
       The  sact  utility shall inform the user of any impending deltas to a named SCCS file by writing a list to standard output.  This situation
       occurs when get -e has been executed previously without a subsequent execution of delta, unget, or sccs unedit.

OPTIONS
       None.

OPERANDS
       The following operand shall be supported:

       file   A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If file is a directory, the sact utility shall behave 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 shall be silently ignored.

       If exactly one file operand appears, and it is '-' , the standard input shall be read; each line of the standard input shall be taken to be
       the name of an SCCS file to be processed.  Non-SCCS files and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.

STDIN
       The  standard  input  shall be a text file used only when the file operand is specified as '-' . Each line of the text file shall be inter-
       preted as an SCCS pathname.

INPUT FILES
       Any SCCS files interrogated are files of an unspecified format.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of sact:

       LANG   Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that  are	unset  or  null.  (See	the  Base  Definitions	volume	of
	      IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,  Section  8.2,  Internationalization  Variables  for  the precedence of internationalization variables used to
	      determine the values of locale categories.)

       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.

       LC_CTYPE
	      Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
	      multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).

       LC_MESSAGES
	      Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

       NLSPATH
	      Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
       Default.

STDOUT
       The output for each named file shall consist of a line in the following format:

	      "%s %s %s %s %s
", <SID>, <new SID>, <login>, <date>, <time>

       <SID>  Specifies the SID of a delta that currently exists in the SCCS file to which changes are made to make the new delta.

       <new SID>
	      Specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

       <login>
	      Contains the login name of the user who makes the delta (that is, who executed a get for editing).

       <date> Contains the date that get -e was executed, in the format used by the prs :D: data keyword.

       <time> Contains the time that get -e was executed, in the format used by the prs :T: data keyword.

       If  there  is more than one named file or if a directory or standard input is named, each pathname shall be written before each of the pre-
       ceding lines:

	      "
%s:
", <pathname>

STDERR
       The standard error shall be used only for optional informative messages concerning SCCS files with no impending deltas, and for	diagnostic
       messages.

OUTPUT FILES
       None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
       None.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values shall be returned:

	0     Successful completion.

       >0     An error occurred.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
       Default.

       The following sections are informative.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
