deltap checks all files in the product that are currently checked out for editing back into the Version DataBase (VDB). The files must already belong to the product. See CHECK IN PROCEDURE in deltaf(1) for more details on checking in files.
- -a
- checks in the files even if another user checked it out
- -rrev
- attempts to check in the product with revision rev. If that revision is already used, the next available revision will be used instead. The version of a product is the same as the version of the slist.
- -k
- searches the working file for keyword values to determine its revision number, creation date, state, and author (see getf(1)), and assigns these values to the deposited revision, rather than computing them locally. It also generates a default login message noting the login of the caller and the actual checkin date. This option is useful for software distribution. A revision that is sent to several sites should be checked in with the -k option at these sites to preserve the original number, date, author, and state. The extracted keyword values and the default log message may be overridden with the options -d, -m, -s, -w, and any option that carries a revision number.
- -q
- quiet mode; diagnostic output is not printed. A revision that is not different from the preceding one is not deposited.
- -I
- interactive mode; the user is prompted and questioned even if the standard input is not a terminal.
- -d[date]
- uses date for the checkin date and time. The date is specified in free format as explained in getf(1). This is useful for lying about the checkin date, and for -k if no date is available. If date is empty, the working file's time of last modification is used.
- -M
- Set the modification time on any new working file to be the date of the retrieved revision. For example, deltap -d -M does not alter f's modification time, even if f's contents change due to keyword substitution. Use this option with care; it can confuse make(1).
- -mmsg
- uses the string msg as the log message for all revisions checked in.
- -nname
- assigns the symbolic name name to the number of the checked-in revision. deltap prints an error message if name is already assigned to another number.
- -Nname
- same as -n, except that it overrides a previous assignment of name.
- -sstate
- sets the state of the checked-in revision to the identifier state. The default state is Exp.
- -tfile
- writes descriptive text from the contents of the named file into the PRECS file, deleting the existing text. The file may not begin with -.
- -t-string
- Write descriptive text from the string into the PRECS file, deleting the existing text.
The -t option, in both its forms, has effect only during an initial checkin; it is silently ignored otherwise.
During the initial checkin, if -t is not given, deltap obtains the text from standard input, terminated by end-of-file or by a line containing . by itself. The user is prompted for the text if interaction is possible; see -I.
For backward compatibility with older versions of RCS, a bare -t option is ignored.
- -wlogin
- uses login for the author field of the deposited revision. Useful for lying about the author, and for -k if no author is available.
- -Vn
- Emulate RCS version n. See getf(1) for details.
- RCSINIT
- options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces. See getf(1) for details.
The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful. Author: Robert Hill $Id: precs/docs:deltap.1 1.2 $
