Syntax
Creates and adm inisters SCCS files.
admin [-n] [-i[ name ] ] [-rrel] [-t[ name ] ] [-ff/ag[f/ag-va/] ]
[-dflag[flag-val] ] [-a/ogin] [-e/ogin] [-m[ mrlist ] 1
[-y[ comment 1 1 [-h1 [-z1 file ...
Description
admin is used to create new SCCS (source code control system) files and change
parameters of existing ones. Argu ments to admin may appear in any order. They
consist of options, which begin with a dash (-), and named files. (Note that sees file
names must begin with the characters "s.".) If a named file does not exist, it is created,
and its parameters are initialized according to the specified options. Parameters not
initialized by an option are assigned a default value. If a named file does exist,
parameters corresponding to specified options are changed, and other parameters are
left as is.
If a directory is named, admin behaves as though each file in the directory were
specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (the last component of whose path
names does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored. If the dash is
given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name
of an sees file to be processed. Again, non-sees files and unreadable files are silently
ignored.
The options are as follows. Each is explained as though only one named file is to be
processed since the effects of the arguments apply independently to each named file.
-n This option indicates that a new sees file is to be created.
-i[ name ]
The name of a file from which the text for a new SCCS file is to be taken. The
text constitutes the first delta of the file. (See the description of the -r option,
which follows, for the delta nu mbering scheme.) If the i option is used but the file
name is omitted, the text is obtained by reading the standard input until an endof-file
is encountered. If this option is omitted, then the SCCS file is created
empty. Only one sees file may be created by an admin command on which the -i
option is supplied. Using a single admin to create two or more SCCS files requires
that they be created empty (no -i option). Note that the -i option implies the -n
option.
-rrel
The release into which the initial delta is inserted. This option may be used only if
the -i option is also used. If the -r option is not used, the initial delta is inserted
into release 1. The level of the initial delta is always 1. (By default, initial deltas
are named 1.1.)
