+.TH RCS 1 "\*(Dt" "GNU RCS \*(Rv"
+.SH NAME
+rcs \- change \*o attributes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B rcs
+.IR "options file " .\|.\|.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B rcs
+creates new \*os or changes attributes of existing ones.
+An \*o contains multiple revisions of text,
+an access list, a change log,
+descriptive text,
+and some control attributes.
+For
+.B rcs
+to work, the caller's login name must be on the access list,
+except if the access list is empty, the caller is the owner of the file
+or the superuser, or
+the
+.B \-i
+option is present.
+.PP
+Filenames matching an \*r suffix denote \*os;
+all others denote working files.
+Names are paired as explained in
+.BR ci (1).
+Revision numbers use the syntax described in
+.BR ci (1).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-i
+Create and initialize a new \*o, but do not deposit any revision.
+If the \*o name has no directory component, try to place it
+first into the subdirectory
+.BR ./RCS ,
+and then into the current directory.
+If the \*o
+already exists, print an error message.
+.TP
+.BI \-a "logins"
+Append the login names appearing in the comma-separated list
+.I logins
+to the access list of the \*o.
+.TP
+.BI \-A "oldfile"
+Append the access list of
+.I oldfile
+to the access list of the \*o.
+.TP
+.BR \-e [\f2logins\fP]
+Erase the login names appearing in the comma-separated list
+.I logins
+from the access list of the \*o.
+If
+.I logins
+is omitted, erase the entire access list.
+.TP
+.BR \-b [\f2rev\fP]
+Set the default branch to
+.IR rev .
+If
+.I rev
+is omitted, the default
+branch is reset to the (dynamically) highest branch on the trunk.
+.TP
+.BI \-c string
+Set the comment leader to
+.IR string .
+An initial
+.BR ci ,
+or an
+.B "rcs\ \-i"
+without
+.BR \-c ,
+guesses the comment leader from the suffix of the working file name.
+.RS
+.PP
+This option is obsolescent, since \*r normally uses the preceding
+.B $\&Log$
+line's prefix when inserting log lines during checkout (see
+.BR co (1)).
+However, older versions of \*r use the comment leader instead of the
+.B $\&Log$
+line's prefix, so
+if you plan to access a file with both old and new versions of \*r,
+make sure its comment leader matches its
+.B $\&Log$
+line prefix.
+.RE
+.TP
+.BI \-k subst
+Set the default keyword substitution to
+.IR subst .
+The effect of keyword substitution is described in
+.BR co (1).
+Giving an explicit
+.B \-k
+option to
+.BR co ,
+.BR rcsdiff ,
+and
+.B rcsmerge
+overrides this default.
+Beware
+.BR "rcs\ \-kv",
+because
+.B \-kv
+is incompatible with
+.BR "co\ \-l".
+Use
+.B "rcs\ \-kkv"
+to restore the normal default keyword substitution.
+.TP
+.BR \-l [\f2rev\fP]
+Lock the revision with number
+.IR rev .
+If a branch is given, lock the latest revision on that branch.
+If
+.I rev
+is omitted, lock the latest revision on the default branch.
+Locking prevents overlapping changes.
+If someone else already holds the lock, the lock is broken as with
+.B "rcs\ \-u"
+(see below).
+.TP
+.BR \-u [\f2rev\fP]
+Unlock the revision with number
+.IR rev .
+If a branch is given, unlock the latest revision on that branch.
+If
+.I rev
+is omitted, remove the latest lock held by the caller.
+Normally, only the locker of a revision can unlock it.
+Somebody else unlocking a revision breaks the lock.
+If RCS was configured
+.BR "\-\-with-mailer" ,
+then this causes a mail message to be sent to the original locker.
+The message contains a commentary solicited from the breaker.
+The commentary is terminated by end-of-file or by a line containing
+.BR \&. "\ by"
+itself.
+.TP
+.B \-L
+Set locking to
+.IR strict .
+Strict locking means that the owner
+of an \*o is not exempt from locking for checkin.
+This option should be used for files that are shared.
+.TP
+.B \-U
+Set locking to non-strict. Non-strict locking means that the owner of
+a file need not lock a revision for checkin.
+This option should
+.I not
+be used for files that are shared.
+Whether default locking is strict is determined by your system administrator,
+but it is normally strict.
+.TP
+\f3\-m\fP\f2rev\fP\f3:\fP[\f2msg\fP]
+Replace revision
+.IR rev 's
+log message with
+.IR msg .
+If
+.I msg
+is omitted, it defaults to "*** empty log message ***".
+.TP
+.B \-M
+Do not send mail when breaking somebody else's lock.
+This option is not meant for casual use;
+it is meant for programs that warn users by other means, and invoke
+.B "rcs\ \-u"
+only as a low-level lock-breaking operation.
+.TP
+\f3\-n\fP\f2name\fP[\f3:\fP[\f2rev\fP]]
+Associate the symbolic name
+.I name
+with the branch or
+revision
+.IR rev .
+Delete the symbolic name if both
+.B :
+and
+.I rev
+are omitted; otherwise, print an error message if
+.I name
+is already associated with
+another number.
+If
+.I rev
+is symbolic, it is expanded before association.
+A
+.I rev
+consisting of a branch number followed by a
+.B .\&
+stands for the current latest revision in the branch.
+A
+.B :
+with an empty
+.I rev
+stands for the current latest revision on the default branch,
+normally the trunk.
+For example,
+.BI "rcs\ \-n" name ":\ RCS/*"
+associates
+.I name
+with the current latest revision of all the named \*os;
+this contrasts with
+.BI "rcs\ \-n" name ":$\ RCS/*"
+which associates
+.I name
+with the revision numbers extracted from keyword strings
+in the corresponding working files.
+.TP
+\f3\-N\fP\f2name\fP[\f3:\fP[\f2rev\fP]]
+Act like
+.BR \-n ,
+except override any previous assignment of
+.IR name .
+.TP
+.BI \-o range
+deletes (\*(lqoutdates\*(rq) the revisions given by
+.IR range .
+A range consisting of a single revision number means that revision.
+A range consisting of a branch number means the latest revision on that
+branch.
+A range of the form
+.IB rev1 : rev2
+means
+revisions
+.I rev1
+to
+.I rev2
+on the same branch,
+.BI : rev
+means from the beginning of the branch containing
+.I rev
+up to and including
+.IR rev ,
+and
+.IB rev :
+means
+from revision
+.I rev
+to the end of the branch containing
+.IR rev .
+None of the outdated revisions can have branches or locks.
+.TP
+.B \-q
+Run quietly; do not print diagnostics.
+.TP
+.B \-I
+Run interactively, even if the standard input is not a terminal.
+.TP
+.B \-s\f2state\fP\f1[\fP:\f2rev\fP\f1]\fP
+Set the state attribute of the revision
+.I rev
+to
+.IR state .
+If
+.I rev
+is a branch number, assume the latest revision on that branch.
+If
+.I rev
+is omitted, assume the latest revision on the default branch.
+Any identifier is acceptable for
+.IR state .
+A useful set of states
+is
+.B Exp
+(for experimental),
+.B Stab
+(for stable), and
+.B Rel
+(for
+released).
+By default,
+.BR ci (1)
+sets the state of a revision to
+.BR Exp .
+.TP
+.BR \-t [\f2file\fP]
+Write descriptive text from the contents of the named
+.I file
+into the \*o, deleting the existing text.
+The
+.IR file
+name cannot begin with
+.BR \- .
+If
+.I file
+is omitted, obtain the text from standard input,
+terminated by end-of-file or by a line containing
+.BR \&. "\ by"
+itself.
+Prompt for the text if interaction is possible; see
+.BR \-I .
+With
+.BR \-i ,
+descriptive text is obtained
+even if
+.B \-t
+is not given.
+.TP
+.BI \-t\- string
+Write descriptive text from the
+.I string
+into the \*o, deleting the existing text.
+.TP
+.B \-T
+Preserve the modification time on the \*o
+unless a revision is removed.
+This option can suppress extensive recompilation caused by a
+.BR make (1)
+dependency of some copy of the working file on the \*o.
+Use this option with care; it can suppress recompilation even when it is needed,
+i.e. when a change to the \*o
+would mean a change to keyword strings in the working file.
+.TP
+.BI \-V
+Print \*r's version number.
+.TP
+.BI \-V n
+Emulate \*r version
+.IR n .
+See
+.BR co (1)
+for details.
+.TP
+.BI \-x "suffixes"
+Use
+.I suffixes
+to characterize \*os.
+See
+.BR ci (1)
+for details.
+.TP
+.BI \-z zone
+Use
+.I zone
+as the default time zone.
+This option has no effect;
+it is present for compatibility with other \*r commands.
+.PP
+At least one explicit option must be given,
+to ensure compatibility with future planned extensions
+to the
+.B rcs
+command.
+.SH COMPATIBILITY
+The
+.BI \-b rev
+option generates an \*o that cannot be parsed by \*r version 3 or earlier.
+.PP
+The
+.BI \-k subst
+options (except
+.BR \-kkv )
+generate an \*o that cannot be parsed by \*r version 4 or earlier.
+.PP
+Use
+.BI "rcs \-V" n
+to make an \*o acceptable to \*r version
+.I n
+by discarding information that would confuse version
+.IR n .
+.PP
+\*r version 5.5 and earlier does not support the
+.B \-x
+option, and requires a
+.B ,v
+suffix on an \*o name.
+.SH FILES
+.B rcs
+accesses files much as
+.BR ci (1)
+does,
+except that it uses the effective user for all accesses,
+it does not write the working file or its directory,
+and it does not even read the working file unless a revision number of
+.B $
+is specified.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B \s-1RCSINIT\s0
+Options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.
+A backslash escapes spaces within an option.
+The
+.B \s-1RCSINIT\s0
+options are prepended to the argument lists of most \*r commands.
+Useful
+.B \s-1RCSINIT\s0
+options include
+.BR \-q ,
+.BR \-V ,
+.BR \-x ,
+and
+.BR \-z .
+.TP
+.B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0
+Normally, for speed, commands either memory map or copy into memory
+the \*o if its size is less than the
+.IR memory-limit ,
+currently defaulting to ``unlimited''.
+Otherwise (or if the initially-tried speedy ways fail),
+the commands fall back to using
+standard i/o routines.
+You can adjust the memory limit by setting
+.B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0
+to a numeric value
+.IR lim
+(measured in kilobytes).
+An empty value is silently ignored.
+As a side effect, specifying
+.B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0
+inhibits fall-back to slower routines.
+.TP
+.B \s-1TMPDIR\s0
+Name of the temporary directory.
+If not set, the environment variables
+.B \s-1TMP\s0
+and
+.B \s-1TEMP\s0
+are inspected instead and the first value found is taken;
+if none of them are set,
+a host-dependent default is used, typically
+.BR /tmp .
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+The \*o name and the revisions outdated are written to
+the diagnostic output.
+The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful.

+.SH BUGS
+A catastrophe (e.g. a system crash) can cause \*r to leave behind
+a semaphore file that causes later invocations of \*r to claim
+that the \*o is in use.
+To fix this, remove the semaphore file.
+A semaphore file's name typically begins with
+.B ,
+or ends with
+.BR _ .
+.PP
+The separator for revision ranges in the
+.B \-o
+option used to be
+.B \-
+instead of
+.BR : ,
+but this leads to confusion when symbolic names contain
+.BR \- .
+For backwards compatibility
+.B "rcs \-o"
+still supports the old
+.B \-
+separator, but it warns about this obsolete use.
+.PP
+Symbolic names need not refer to existing revisions or branches.
+For example, the
+.B \-o
+option does not remove symbolic names for the outdated revisions; you must use
+.B \-n
+to remove the names.
