RCSMERGE(1)                                                        RCSMERGE(1)



NAME
       rcsmerge - merge RCS revisions

SYNOPSIS
       rcsmerge [options] file

DESCRIPTION
       rcsmerge  incorporates  the  changes  between two revisions of an RCS file into the
       corresponding working file.

       Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote RCS files; all others denote working files.
       Names are paired as explained in ci(1).

       At  least  one  revision must be specified with one of the options described below,
       usually -r.  At most two revisions may be specified.  If only one revision is spec-
       ified,  the  latest  revision on the default branch (normally the highest branch on
       the trunk) is assumed for the second revision.  Revisions may be specified  numeri-
       cally or symbolically.

       rcsmerge  prints  a  warning  if  there  are overlaps, and delimits the overlapping
       regions as explained in merge(1).  The command is useful for incorporating  changes
       into a checked-out revision.

OPTIONS
       -A     Output  conflicts  using  the  -A  style of diff3(1), if supported by diff3.
              This merges all changes leading from file2 to file3 into file1,  and  gener-
              ates the most verbose output.

       -E, -e These  options  specify  conflict styles that generate less information than
              -A.  See diff3(1) for details.  The default is -E.  With -e,  rcsmerge  does
              not warn about conflicts.

       -ksubst
              Use  subst style keyword substitution.  See co(1) for details.  For example,
              -kk -r1.1 -r1.2 ignores differences  in  keyword  values  when  merging  the
              changes  from  1.1  to 1.2.  It normally does not make sense to merge binary
              files as if they were text, so rcsmerge refuses to merge files if -kb expan-
              sion is used.

       -p[rev]
              Send  the result to standard output instead of overwriting the working file.

       -q[rev]
              Run quietly; do not print diagnostics.

       -r[rev]
              Merge with respect to revision rev.  Here an empty rev stands for the latest
              revision on the default branch, normally the head.

       -T     This  option  has  no effect; it is present for compatibility with other RCS
              commands.

       -V     Print RCS’s version number.

       -Vn    Emulate RCS version n.  See co(1) for details.

       -xsuffixes
              Use suffixes to characterize RCS files.  See ci(1) for details.

       -zzone Use zone as the time zone for keyword substitution.  See co(1) for  details.

EXAMPLES
       Suppose  you  have released revision 2.8 of f.c.  Assume furthermore that after you
       complete an unreleased revision 3.4,  you  receive  updates  to  release  2.8  from
       someone  else.  To combine the updates to 2.8 and your changes between 2.8 and 3.4,
       put the updates to 2.8 into file f.c and execute

           rcsmerge  -p  -r2.8  -r3.4  f.c  >f.merged.c

       Then examine f.merged.c.  Alternatively, if you want to save the updates to 2.8  in
       the RCS file, check them in as revision 2.8.1.1 and execute co -j:

           ci  -r2.8.1.1  f.c
           co  -r3.4  -j2.8:2.8.1.1  f.c

       As  another  example, the following command undoes the changes between revision 2.4
       and 2.8 in your currently checked out revision in f.c.

           rcsmerge  -r2.8  -r2.4  f.c

       Note the order of the arguments, and that f.c will be overwritten.

ENVIRONMENT
       RCSINIT
              options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.  See ci(1)  for
              details.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is 0 for no overlaps, 1 for some overlaps, 2 for trouble.
