Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/notes/doc/4.5, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: .se "Checking for New Notes"
                      2: 
                      3:        The checknotes program
                      4: checks the notesfiles specified by the NFSEQ environment 
                      5: variable to determine if there are new notes.
                      6: The exit code is arranged to make the program useful in shell scripts:
                      7: 0 (TRUE) is there are new notes, 1 (FALSE) otherwise.
                      8: 
                      9:        Use the ``-q'' option to receive a message
                     10: 
                     11:                There are new notes
                     12: 
                     13: if one or more of the notesfiles have notes/responses written since
                     14: the user's last entry time into that notesfile.
                     15: 
                     16:        The ``-n'' option is similar to the ``-q'' option, with the exception
                     17: that it yields output when there are no new notes. The output
                     18: of checknotes with the ``-n'' option is:
                     19: 
                     20:                There are no new notes
                     21: 
                     22:        Use ``-v'' to print the name of each notesfile with new 
                     23: notes/responses.
                     24: The ``-s'' option is suitable for use in conditional
                     25: expressions in shell scripts; no output is generated by this option.
                     26:
