Intel XENIX 286 Programmers Guide (86) - Tenox.tc

XENIX Programming sees: Source Code Control System
where -rrel-num gives the value of the starting release number, and s.filename is the
name of the s-file to be created. For example, the command
admin -idemo.c -r3 s.demo.c
starts with release number 3. The first version is 3.1.
Adding a Comment to the First Version
You can add a comment to the first version of a file by using the -y option of the admin
command when creating the s-file. For example, the command
admin -idemo.c -y''George Wheeler" s.demo.c
inserts the comment "George Wheeler" in the new s-file s.demo.c.
The comment may be any combination of letters, digits, and punctuation symbols. If
spaces are used, the comment must be enclosed in double quotes. The complete
command must fit on one line.
If the -y option is not used when creating an s-file, a comment of the form
date and ti me created YY/MM/DD HH:MM :SS by logname
is automatically inserted.
Suppressing Normal Output
You can suppress the normal display of messages created by the get command by using
the -s option. The option prevents information, such as the SID of the retrieved file,
from being copied to the standard output. The option does not suppress error messages.
The -s option is often used with the -p option to pipe the output of the get command to
other commands. For example, the command
get -p -s s.demo.c I I pr
copies the most recent version in the s-file s.demo.c to the line printer.
You can also suppress the normal output of the delta command by using the -s option.
This option suppresses all output normally directed to the standard output, except for
the normal comment prompt.
