|
|
|
|
<P><CODE>ci(1)</CODE> and <CODE>co(1)</CODE> are the commands used to check
|
|
files in and out of their RCS archives. The <CODE>ci(1)</CODE> command
|
|
may also be used to a check a file both in and out of an archive. In
|
|
their simplest forms, <CODE>ci(1)</CODE> and <CODE>co(1)</CODE> take only the
|
|
name of the working file.
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
ci name_of_work_file
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
co name_of_work_file
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
The command form
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
ci -l name_of_work_file
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
checks in the file with locking enabled, and
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
co -l name_of_work_file
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<EM>is performed automatically.</EM> That is, <CODE>ci -l</CODE> checks
|
|
the file out again with locking enabled.
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
ci -u name_of_work_file
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
checks the file into the archive, and checks it out again with
|
|
locking disabled. In all cases, the user is prompted for a log
|
|
message.
|
|
<P><CODE>ci(1)</CODE> will also create a RCS archive if one does not exist
|
|
already.
|
|
<P>If you don't specify a revision, <CODE>ci(1)</CODE> increments the
|
|
version number of the last revision locked in the archive, and appends
|
|
the revised working file to it. If you specify a revision on an
|
|
existing branch, it must be higher than the existing revision numbers.
|
|
<CODE>ci(1)</CODE> will also create a new branch if you specify the
|
|
revision of a branch which does not exist. See the <CODE>ci(1)</CODE>
|
|
and <CODE>co(1)</CODE> man pages for details.
|
|
<P><CODE>ci(1)</CODE> and <CODE>co(1)</CODE> have various options for interactive
|
|
and non-interactive use. Again, see the <CODE>ci(1)</CODE> and
|
|
<CODE>co(1)</CODE> man pages for details.
