                      2: .SH NAME
                      3: rlog \- print log messages and other information about RCS files
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: .B rlog
                      6: [ options ]
                      7: file ...
                      8: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      9: .I Rlog
                     10: prints information about RCS files.
                     11: Files ending in `,v' are RCS files, all others are working files. If
                     12: a working file is given, \fIrlog\fR tries to find the corresponding
                     13: RCS file first in directory ./RCS and then in the current directory,
                     14: as explained in \fIco\fR (1).
                     15: .PP
                     16: \fIRlog\fR prints the following information for each
                     17: RCS file: RCS file name, working file name, head (i.e., the number
                     18: of the latest revision on the trunk), access list, locks,
                     19: symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, 
                     20: number of revisions selected for printing, and 
                     21: descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in
                     22: reverse chronological order for each branch. For each revision,
                     23: \fIrlog\fR prints revision number, author, date/time, state, number of
                     24: lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision),
                     25: locker of the revision (if any), and log message.
                     26: Without options, \fIrlog\fR prints complete information.
                     27: The options below restrict this output.
                     28: .TP 10
                     29: .B \-L
                     30: ignores RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in combination with
                     31: \fB-R\fR, \fB-h\fR, or \fB-l\fR.
                     32: .TP 10
                     33: .B \-R
                     34: only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient for translating a
                     35: working file name into an RCS file name.
                     36: .TP 10
                     37: .B \-h
                     38: prints only RCS file name, working file name, head, 
                     39: access list, locks,
                     40: symbolic names, and suffix.
                     41: .TP 10
                     42: .B \-t
                     43: prints the same as \fB-h\fR, plus the descriptive text.
                     44: .TP 10
                     45: .BI \-d "dates"
                     46: prints information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the ranges given by
                     47: the semicolon-separated list of \fIdates\fR.
                     48: A range of the form \fId1<d2\fR or \fId2>d1\fR
                     49: selects the revisions that were deposited between
                     50: \fId1\fR and \fId2\fR, (inclusive).
                     51: A range of the form \fI<d\fR or \fId>\fR selects
                     52: all revisions dated
                     53: \fId\fR or earlier.
                     54: A range of the form \fId<\fR or \fI>d\fR selects
                     55: all revisions dated \fId\fR or later.
                     56: A range of the form \fId\fR selects the single, latest revision dated \fId\fR or
                     57: earlier.
                     58: The date/time strings \fId, d1, \fRand \fId2\fR
                     59: are in the free format explained in \fIco\fR (1). 
                     60: Quoting is normally necessary, especially for \fI<\fR and \fI>\fR. Note that the separator is
                     61: a semicolon.
                     62: .TP 10
                     63: .B \-l\fR[\fIlockers\fR]
                     64: prints information about locked revisions.
                     65: If the comma-separated list \fIlockers\fR of login names is given,
                     66: only the revisions locked by the given login names are printed.
                     67: If the list is omitted, all locked revisions are printed.
                     68: .TP 10
                     69: .BI \-r "revisions"
                     70: prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list
                     71: \fIrevisions\fR of revisions and ranges. A range \fIrev1\-rev2\fR means revisions
                     72: \fIrev1\fR to \fIrev2\fR on the same branch, \fI\-rev\fR means revisions
                     73: from the beginning of the branch up to and including \fIrev\fR,
                     74: and \fIrev\-\fR means revisions starting with \fIrev\fR to the end of the
                     75: branch containing \fIrev\fR. An argument that is a branch means all
                     76: revisions on that branch. A range of branches means all revisions
                     77: on the branches in that range.

                     84: prints information about revisions checked in by users with 
                     85: login names appearing in the comma-separated list \fIlogins\fR.
                     86: If \fIlogins\fR is omitted, the user's login is assumed.
                     87: .PP
                     88: \fIRlog\fR prints the intersection of the revisions selected with
                     89: the options \fB-d\fR, \fB-l\fR, \fB-s\fR, \fB-w\fR, intersected
                     90: with the union of the revisions selected by \fB-b\fR and \fB-r\fR.
                     91: .SH EXAMPLES
                     92: .nf

                    100: The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory `RCS'
                    101: which have locks. The second command prints the headers of those files,
                    102: and the third prints the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions.
                    103: The last command prints complete information.
                    104: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
                    105: The exit status always refers to the last RCS file operated upon,
                    106: and is 0 if the operation was successful, 1 otherwise.
