Adding Mod ification Requests
You can add modification requests to an s-file, when the v flag is set, by using the -m
option of the delta and admin commands. A modification request is a shorthand method
of describing the reason for a particular version. Modification requests are usually
names or numbers that the user has chosen to represent a specific request.
The -m option causes the given command to save the requests following the option. A
request may be any combination of letters, digits, and punctuation symbols. If spaces
are used, you must enclose the request in double quotes. For example, the command
delta -m" error35 optimize10" s.demo.c
copies the requests "error35" and "optimizelO" to s.demo.c while saving the new version.
The -m option when used with the admin command must be combined with the -i option.
Furthermore, the v flag must be explicitly set with the -f option. For example, the
command
admin -idef.h -m" errorO" -fv s.def.h
inserts the modification request "errorO" in the new file s.def.h.
The delta command does not prompt for modification requests if you use the -m option.
Changing Mod ification Requests
You can change modification requests, when the v flag is set, by using the cdc
command. The command asks for a list of modification requests by displaying the
prompt
MRs?
You may type any number of requests. Each request may have any combination of
letters, digits, or punctuation sy mbols. No more than 512 characters are allowed and
the last request must be terminated with a newline character. If you wish to remove a
request, you must precede the request with an exclamation mark (!). For example, the
command
cdc -r1.4 s.demo.c
asks for changes to the modification requests. The response
MRs? error36 !error3 5
adds the request "error36" and removes "error35".
