                      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
                     15: .IR co (1L).
                     16: .PP
                     17: \fIRlog\fR prints the following information for each
                     18: RCS file: RCS file name, working file name, head (i.e., the number
                     19: of the latest revision on the trunk), default branch, access list, locks,
                     20: symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, 
                     21: number of revisions selected for printing, and 
                     22: descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in
                     23: reverse chronological order for each branch. For each revision,
                     24: \fIrlog\fR prints revision number, author, date/time, state, number of
                     25: lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision),
                     26: locker of the revision (if any), and log message.
                     27: Without options, \fIrlog\fR prints complete information.
                     28: The options below restrict this output.
                     29: .TP 10
                     30: .B \-L
                     31: ignores RCS files that have no locks set; convenient in combination with
                     32: \fB\-R\fR, \fB\-h\fR, or \fB\-l\fR.
                     33: .TP 10
                     34: .B \-R
                     35: only prints the name of the RCS file; convenient for translating a
                     36: working file name into an RCS file name.
                     37: .TP 10
                     38: .B \-h
                     39: prints only RCS file name, working file name, head, 
                     40: default branch, access list, locks,
                     41: symbolic names, and suffix.
                     42: .TP 10
                     43: .B \-t
                     44: prints the same as \fB\-h\fR, plus the descriptive text.
                     45: .TP 10
                     46: .B \-b
                     47: prints information about the revisions on the default branch (normally
                     48: the highest branch on the trunk).
                     49: .TP 10
                     50: .BI \-d "dates"
                     51: prints information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the ranges given by
                     52: the semicolon-separated list of \fIdates\fR.
                     53: A range of the form \fId1<d2\fR or \fId2>d1\fR
                     54: selects the revisions that were deposited between
                     55: \fId1\fR and \fId2\fR, (inclusive).
                     56: A range of the form \fI<d\fR or \fId>\fR selects
                     57: all revisions dated
                     58: \fId\fR or earlier.
                     59: A range of the form \fId<\fR or \fI>d\fR selects
                     60: all revisions dated \fId\fR or later.
                     61: A range of the form \fId\fR selects the single, latest revision dated \fId\fR or
                     62: earlier.
                     63: The date/time strings \fId, d1, \fRand \fId2\fR
                     64: are in the free format explained in
                     65: .IR co (1L). 
                     66: Quoting is normally necessary, especially for \fI<\fR and \fI>\fR. Note that the separator is
                     67: a semicolon.
                     68: .TP 10
                     69: .B \-l\fR[\fIlockers\fR]
                     70: prints information about locked revisions.
                     71: If the comma-separated list \fIlockers\fR of login names is given,
                     72: only the revisions locked by the given login names are printed.
                     73: If the list is omitted, all locked revisions are printed.
                     74: .TP 10
                     75: .BI \-r "revisions"
                     76: prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list
                     77: \fIrevisions\fR of revisions and ranges. A range \fIrev1-rev2\fR means revisions
                     78: \fIrev1\fR to \fIrev2\fR on the same branch, \fI-rev\fR means revisions
                     79: from the beginning of the branch up to and including \fIrev\fR,
                     80: and \fIrev-\fR means revisions starting with \fIrev\fR to the end of the
                     81: branch containing \fIrev\fR. An argument that is a branch means all
                     82: revisions on that branch. A range of branches means all revisions
                     83: on the branches in that range.
                     84: .TP 10

                     91: login names appearing in the comma-separated list \fIlogins\fR.
                     92: If \fIlogins\fR is omitted, the user's login is assumed.
                     93: .PP
                     94: \fIRlog\fR prints the intersection of the revisions selected with
                     95: the options \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-l\fR, \fB\-s\fR, \fB\-w\fR, intersected
                     96: with the union of the revisions selected by \fB\-b\fR and \fB\-r\fR.

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