RLOG(1) RLOG(1)
NAME
rlog - print log messages and other information about RCS files
SYNOPSIS
rlog [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
rlog prints information about RCS files.
Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote RCS files; all others denote working files.
Names are paired as explained in ci(1).
rlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS pathname, working
pathname, head (i.e., the number of the latest revision on the trunk), default
branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, num-
ber of revisions selected for printing, and descriptive text. This is followed by
entries for the selected revisions in reverse chronological order for each branch.
For each revision, rlog prints revision number, author, date/time, state, number of
lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revision), locker of the revision
(if any), and log message. All times are displayed in Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) by default; this can be overridden with -z. Without options, rlog prints
complete information. The options below restrict this output.
-L Ignore RCS files that have no locks set. This is convenient in combination
with -h, -l, and -R.
-R Print only the name of the RCS file. This is convenient for translating a
working pathname into an RCS pathname.
-h Print only the RCS pathname, working pathname, head, default branch, access
list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix.
-t Print the same as -h, plus the descriptive text.
-N Do not print the symbolic names.
-b Print information about the revisions on the default branch, normally the high-
est branch on the trunk.
-ddates
Print information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the ranges given
by the semicolon-separated list of dates. A range of the form d1<d2 or d2>d1
selects the revisions that were deposited between d1 and d2 exclusive. A range
of the form <d or d> selects all revisions earlier than d. A range of the form
d< or >d selects all revisions dated later than d. If < or > is followed by =
then the ranges are inclusive, not exclusive. A range of the form d selects
the single, latest revision dated d or earlier. The date/time strings d, d1,
and d2 are in the free format explained in co(1). Quoting is normally neces-
sary, especially for < and >. Note that the separator is a semicolon.
-l[lockers]
Print information about locked revisions only. In addition, if the comma-sepa-
rated list lockers of login names is given, ignore all locks other than those
held by the lockers. For example, rlog -L -R -lwft RCS/* prints the name of
RCS files locked by the user wft.
-r[revisions]
prints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list revisions
of revisions and ranges. A range rev1:rev2 means revisions rev1 to rev2 on the
same branch, :rev means revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and
including rev, and rev: means revisions starting with rev to the end of the
branch containing rev. An argument that is a branch means all revisions on
that branch. A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in that
range. A branch followed by a . means the latest revision in that branch. A
bare -r with no revisions means the latest revision on the default branch, nor-
mally the trunk.
-sstates
prints information about revisions whose state attributes match one of the
states given in the comma-separated list states.
-w[logins]
prints information about revisions checked in by users with login names appear-
ing in the comma-separated list logins. If logins is omitted, the user’s login
is assumed.
-T This option has no effect; it is present for compatibility with other RCS com-
mands.
-V Print RCS’s version number.
-Vn Emulate RCS version n when generating logs. See co(1) for more.
-xsuffixes
Use suffixes to characterize RCS files. See ci(1) for details.
rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options -d, -l, -s,
and -w, intersected with the union of the revisions selected by -b and -r.
-zzone specifies the date output format, and specifies the default time zone for
date in the -ddates option. The zone should be empty, a numeric UTC offset,
or the special string LT for local time. The default is an empty zone,
which uses the traditional RCS format of UTC without any time zone indica-
tion and with slashes separating the parts of the date; otherwise, times are
output in ISO 8601 format with time zone indication. For example, if local
time is January 11, 1990, 8pm Pacific Standard Time, eight hours west of
UTC, then the time is output as follows:
option time output
-z 1990/01/12 04:00:00 (default)
-zLT 1990-01-11 20:00:00-08
-z+05:30 1990-01-12 09:30:00+05:30
EXAMPLES
rlog -L -R RCS/*
rlog -L -h RCS/*
rlog -L -l RCS/*
rlog RCS/*
The first command prints the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory RCS that
have locks. The second command prints the headers of those files, and the third
prints the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions. The last command
prints complete information.
ENVIRONMENT
RCSINIT
options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces. See ci(1) for
details.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful.

BUGS
The separator for revision ranges in the -r option used to be - instead of :, but
this leads to confusion when symbolic names contain -. For backwards compatibility
rlog -r still supports the old - separator, but it warns about this obsolete use.
