+.SH NAME
+co \- check out RCS revisions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B co
+.RI [ options ] " file " .\|.\|.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B co
+retrieves a revision from each \*o and stores it into
+the corresponding working file.
+.PP
+Filenames matching an \*r suffix denote \*os;
+all others denote working files.
+Names are paired as explained in
+.BR ci (1).
+.PP
+Revisions of an \*o can be checked out locked or unlocked. Locking a
+revision prevents overlapping updates. A revision checked out for reading or
+processing (e.g., compiling) need not be locked. A revision checked out
+for editing and later checkin must normally be locked. Checkout with locking
+fails if the revision to be checked out is currently locked by another user.
+(A lock can be broken with
+.BR rcs "(1).)\ \&"
+Checkout with locking also requires the caller to be on the access list of
+the \*o, unless he is the owner of the
+file or the superuser, or the access list is empty.
+Checkout without locking is not subject to accesslist restrictions, and is
+not affected by the presence of locks.
+.PP
+A revision is selected by options for revision or branch number,
+checkin date/time, author, or state.
+When the selection options
+are applied in combination,
+.B co
+retrieves the latest revision
+that satisfies all of them.
+If none of the selection options
+is specified,
+.B co
+retrieves the latest revision
+on the default branch (normally the trunk, see the
+.B \-b
+option of
+.BR rcs (1)).
+A revision or branch number can be attached
+to any of the options
+.BR \-f ,
+.BR \-I ,
+.BR \-l ,
+.BR \-M ,
+.BR \-p ,
+.BR \-q ,
+.BR \-r ,
+or
+.BR \-u .
+The options
+.B \-d
+(date),
+.B \-s
+(state), and
+.B \-w
+(author)
+retrieve from a single branch, the
+.I selected
+branch,
+which is either specified by one of
+.BR \-f ,
+\&.\|.\|.,
+.BR \-u ,
+or the default branch.
+.PP
+A
+.B co
+command applied to an \*o
+with no revisions creates a zero-length working file.
+.B co
+always performs keyword substitution (see below).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-r [\f2rev\fP]
+retrieves the latest revision whose number is less than or equal to
+.IR rev .
+If
+.I rev
+indicates a branch rather than a revision,
+the latest revision on that branch is retrieved.
+If
+.I rev
+is omitted, the latest revision on the default branch
+(see the
+.B \-b
+option of
+.BR rcs (1))
+is retrieved.
+If
+.I rev
+is
+.BR $ ,
+.B co
+determines the revision number from keyword values in the working file.
+Otherwise, a revision is composed of one or more numeric or symbolic fields
+separated by periods.
+If
+.I rev
+begins with a period,
+then the default branch (normally the trunk) is prepended to it.
+If
+.I rev
+is a branch number followed by a period,
+then the latest revision on that branch is used.
+The numeric equivalent of a symbolic field
+is specified with the
+.B \-n
+option of the commands
+.BR ci (1)
+and
+.BR rcs (1).
+.TP
+.BR \-l [\f2rev\fP]
+same as
+.BR \-r ,
+except that it also locks the retrieved revision for
+the caller.
+.TP
+.BR \-u [\f2rev\fP]
+same as
+.BR \-r ,
+except that it unlocks the retrieved revision if it was
+locked by the caller. If
+.I rev
+is omitted,
+.B \-u
+retrieves the revision locked by the caller, if there is one; otherwise,
+it retrieves the latest revision on the default branch.
+.TP
+.BR \-f [\f2rev\fP]
+forces the overwriting of the working file;
+useful in connection with
+.BR \-q .
+See also
+.SM "FILE MODES"
+below.
+.TP
+.B \-kkv
+Generate keyword strings using the default form, e.g.\&
+.B "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $"
+for the
+.B Revision
+keyword.
+A locker's name is inserted in the value of the
+.BR Header ,
+.BR Id ,
+and
+.B Locker
+keyword strings
+only as a file is being locked,
+i.e. by
+.B "ci\ \-l"
+and
+.BR "co\ \-l".
+This is the default.
+.TP
+.B \-kkvl
+Like
+.BR \-kkv ,
+except that a locker's name is always inserted
+if the given revision is currently locked.
+.TP
+.B \-kk
+Generate only keyword names in keyword strings; omit their values.
+See
+.SM "KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION"
+below.
+For example, for the
+.B Revision
+keyword, generate the string
+.B $\&Revision$
+instead of
+.BR "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $" .
+This option is useful to ignore differences due to keyword substitution
+when comparing different revisions of a file.
+Log messages are inserted after
+.B $\&Log$
+keywords even if
+.B \-kk
+is specified,
+since this tends to be more useful when merging changes.
+.TP
+.B \-ko
+Generate the old keyword string,
+present in the working file just before it was checked in.
+For example, for the
+.B Revision
+keyword, generate the string
+.B "$\&Revision: 1.1 $"
+instead of
+.B "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $"
+if that is how the string appeared when the file was checked in.
+This can be useful for file formats
+that cannot tolerate any changes to substrings
+that happen to take the form of keyword strings.
+.TP
+.B \-kb
+Generate a binary image of the old keyword string.
+This acts like
+.BR \-ko ,
+except it performs all working file input and output in binary mode.
+This makes little difference on Posix and Unix hosts,
+but on DOS-like hosts one should use
+.B "rcs\ \-i\ \-kb"
+to initialize an \*o intended to be used for binary files.
+Also, on all hosts,
+.BR rcsmerge (1)
+normally refuses to merge files when
+.B \-kb
+is in effect.
+.TP
+.B \-kv
+Generate only keyword values for keyword strings.
+For example, for the
+.B Revision
+keyword, generate the string
+.B \*(Rv
+instead of
+.BR "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $" .
+This can help generate files in programming languages where it is hard to
+strip keyword delimiters like
+.B "$\&Revision:\ $"
+from a string.
+However, further keyword substitution cannot be performed once the
+keyword names are removed, so this option should be used with care.
+Because of this danger of losing keywords,
+this option cannot be combined with
+.BR \-l ,
+and the owner write permission of the working file is turned off;
+to edit the file later, check it out again without
+.BR \-kv .
+.TP
+.BR \-p [\f2rev\fP]
+prints the retrieved revision on the standard output rather than storing it
+in the working file.
+This option is useful when
+.B co
+is part of a pipe.
+.TP
+.BR \-q [\f2rev\fP]
+quiet mode; diagnostics are not printed.
+.TP
+.BR \-I [\f2rev\fP]
+interactive mode;
+the user is prompted and questioned
+even if the standard input is not a terminal.
+.TP
+.BI \-d date
+retrieves the latest revision on the selected branch whose checkin date/time is
+less than or equal to
+.IR date .
+The date and time can be given in free format.
+The time zone
+.B LT
+stands for local time;
+other common time zone names are understood.
+For example, the following

+Most fields in the date and time can be defaulted.
+The default time zone is normally \*u, but this can be overridden by the
+.B \-z
+option.
+The other defaults are determined in the order year, month, day,
+hour, minute, and second (most to least significant). At least one of these
+fields must be provided. For omitted fields that are of higher significance
+than the highest provided field, the time zone's current values are assumed.
+For all other omitted fields,
+the lowest possible values are assumed.
+For example, without
+.BR \-z ,
+the date
+.B "20, 10:30"
+defaults to
+10:30:00 \*u of the 20th of the \*u time zone's current month and year.

+Enable

+In this mode, the owner of a lock is unimportant, just that it exists.
+Effectively, this means the user cannot check out the same revision twice.
+.TP
+.B \-T
+Preserve the modification time on the \*o
+even if the \*o changes because a lock is added or removed.
+This option can suppress extensive recompilation caused by a
+.BR make (1)
+dependency of some other 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 the change of lock
+would mean a change to keyword strings in the other working file.
+.TP
+.BR \-w [\f2login\fP]
+retrieves the latest revision on the selected branch which was checked in
+by the user with login name
+.IR login .
+If the argument
+.I login
+is

+.TP
+.BI \-j joinlist
+generates a new revision which is the join of the revisions on
+.IR joinlist .
+This option is largely obsoleted by
+.BR rcsmerge (1)
+but is retained for backwards compatibility.
+.RS
+.PP
+The
+.I joinlist
+is a comma-separated list of pairs of the form
+.IB rev2 : rev3,
+where
+.I rev2
+and
+.I rev3
+are (symbolic or numeric)
+revision numbers.
+For the initial such pair,
+.I rev1
+denotes the revision selected
+by the above options
+.BR \-f ,

+.BR \-w .
+For all other pairs,
+.I rev1
+denotes the revision generated by the previous pair.
+(Thus, the output
+of one join becomes the input to the next.)
+.PP
+For each pair,
+.B co
+joins revisions
+.I rev1
+and
+.I rev3
+with respect to
+.IR rev2 .
+This means that all changes that transform
+.I rev2
+into
+.I rev1
+are applied to a copy of
+.IR rev3 .
+This is particularly useful if
+.I rev1
+and
+.I rev3
+are the ends of two branches that have
+.I rev2
+as a common ancestor. If
+.IR rev1 < rev2 < rev3
+on the same branch,
+joining generates a new revision which is like
+.I rev3,
+but with all changes that lead from
+.I rev1
+to
+.I rev2
+undone.
+If changes from
+.I rev2
+to
+.I rev1
+overlap with changes from
+.I rev2
+to
+.I rev3,
+.B co
+reports overlaps as described in
+.BR merge (1).

+For the initial pair,
+.I rev2
+can be omitted. The default is the common
+ancestor.
+If any of the arguments indicate branches, the latest revisions

+Emulate \*r version
+.I n,
+where
+.I n
+can be
+.BR 3 ,
+.BR 4 ,

+.BR 5 .
+This can be useful when interchanging \*os with others who are
+running older versions of \*r.
+To see which version of \*r your correspondents are running, have them invoke
+.BR "rcs \-V" ;
+this works with newer versions of \*r.
+If it doesn't work, have them invoke
+.B rlog
+on an \*o;
+if none of the first few lines of output contain the string
+.B branch:
+it is version 3;
+if the dates' years have just two digits, it is version 4;
+otherwise, it is version 5.
+An \*o generated while emulating version 3 loses its default branch.
+An \*r revision generated while emulating version 4 or earlier has
+a time stamp that is off by up to 13 hours.
+A revision extracted while emulating version 4 or earlier contains
+abbreviated dates of the form
+.IB yy / mm / dd
+and can also contain different white space and line prefixes
