NAME
rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS
files
SYNOPSIS
rlog [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
_R_l_o_g prints information about RCS files. Files ending in
`,v' are RCS files, all others are working files. If a work-
ing file is given, _r_l_o_g tries to find the corresponding RCS
file first in directory ./RCS and then in the current direc-
tory, as explained in _c_o (1).
_R_l_o_g 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 revi-
sions 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, _r_l_o_g
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, _r_l_o_g prints complete information. The options
below restrict this output.
-L ignores RCS files that have no locks set; con-
venient in combination with -R, -h, or -l.
-R only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient
for translating a working file name into an RCS
file name.
-h prints only RCS file name, working file name,
head, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suf-
fix.
-t prints the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
-d_d_a_t_e_s prints information about revisions with a checkin
date/time in the ranges given by the semicolon-
separated list of _d_a_t_e_s. A range of the form
_d_1<_d_2 or _d_2>_d_1 selects the revisions that were
deposited between _d_1 and _d_2, (inclusive). A range
of the form <_d or _d> selects all revisions dated _d
or earlier. A range of the form _d< or >_d 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, _d_1, and _d_2
are in the free format explained in _c_o (1). Quot-
ing is normally necessary, especially for < and >.

Note that the separator is a semicolon.
-l[_l_o_c_k_e_r_s]
prints information about locked revisions. If the
comma-separated list _l_o_c_k_e_r_s 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.
-r_r_e_v_i_s_i_o_n_s
prints information about revisions given in the
comma-separated list _r_e_v_i_s_i_o_n_s of revisions and
ranges. A range _r_e_v_1-_r_e_v_2 means revisions _r_e_v_1 to
_r_e_v_2 on the same branch, -_r_e_v means revisions from
the beginning of the branch up to and including
_r_e_v, and _r_e_v- means revisions starting with _r_e_v to
the end of the branch containing _r_e_v. 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.
-s_s_t_a_t_e_s prints information about revisions whose state
attributes match one of the states given in the
comma-separated list _s_t_a_t_e_s.
-w[_l_o_g_i_n_s]
prints information about revisions checked in by
users with login names appearing in the comma-
separated list _l_o_g_i_n_s. If _l_o_g_i_n_s is omitted, the
user's login is assumed.
_R_l_o_g prints the intersection of the revisions selected with
the options -d, -l, -s, -w, intersected with the union of
the revisions selected by -b and -r.
EXAMPLES
rlog -L -R RCS/*,v
rlog -L -h RCS/*,v
rlog -L -l RCS/*,v
rlog RCS/*,v
The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the
subdirectory `RCS' which have locks. The second command
prints the headers of those files, and the third prints the
headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions. The
last command prints complete information.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated
upon, and is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
