Names\nare paired as explained in ci(1).\n\nrlog prints the following information for each RCS file: RCS file name, working file name,\nhead (i.e., the number of the latest revision on the trunk), default branch, access list,\nlocks, symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions, number of revisions selected for\nprinting, and descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the selected revisions in\nreverse chronological order for each branch. For each revision, rlog prints revision number,\nauthor, date/time, state, number of lines added/deleted (with respect to the previous revi‐\nsion), locker of the revision (if any), and log message. All times are displayed in Coordi‐\nnated Universal Time (UTC) by default; this can be overridden with -z. Without options, rlog\nprints complete information. The options below restrict this output.\n\n#### -L -h -l\n\nand -R.\n\n#### -R\n\nname into an RCS file name.\n\n#### -h\n\nlocks, symbolic names, and suffix.\n\n#### -t -h\n\n#### -N\n\n#### -b\n\non the trunk.\n\n#### -d\n\nPrint information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the ranges given by the\nsemicolon-separated list of dates. A range of the form d1d1 selects the revi‐\nsions that were deposited between d1 and d2 exclusive. A range of the form se‐\nlects all revisions earlier than d. A range of the form d< or >d selects all revisions\ndated later than d. If < or > is followed by = then the ranges are inclusive, not exclu‐\nsive. A range of the form d selects the single, latest revision dated d or earlier. The\ndate/time strings d, d1, and d2 are in the free format explained in co(1). Quoting is\nnormally necessary, especially for < and >. Note that the separator is a semicolon.\n\n#### -l\n\nPrint information about locked revisions only. In addition, if the comma-separated list\nlockers of login names is given, ignore all locks other than those held by the lockers.\nFor example, rlog -L -R -lwft RCS/* prints the name of RCS files locked by the user wft.\n\n#### -r\n\nprints information about revisions given in the comma-separated list revisions of revi‐\nsions and ranges. A range rev1:rev2 means revisions rev1 to rev2 on the same branch,\n:rev means revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and including rev, and rev:\nmeans revisions starting with rev to the end of the branch containing rev. An argument\nthat is a branch means all revisions on that branch. A range of branches means all revi‐\nsions on the branches in that range. A branch followed by a . means the latest revision\nin that branch. A bare -r with no revisions means the latest revision on the default\nbranch, normally the trunk.\n\n#### -s\n\nprints information about revisions whose state attributes match one of the states given\nin the comma-separated list states.\n\n#### -w\n\nprints information about revisions checked in by users with login names appearing in the\ncomma-separated list logins. If logins is omitted, the user's login is assumed.\n\n#### -q\n\n#### -T\n\n#### -V\n\n#### -V\n\n#### -x\n\nUse suffixes to characterize RCS files. See ci(1) for details.\n\nrlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options -d, -l, -s, and -w,\nintersected with the union of the revisions selected by -b and -r.\n\n#### -z\n\n-ddates option. The zone should be empty, a numeric UTC offset, or the special string\nLT for local time. The default is an empty zone, which uses the traditional RCS for‐\nmat of UTC without any time zone indication and with slashes separating the parts of\nthe date; otherwise, times are output in ISO 8601 format with time zone indication.\nFor example, if local time is January 11, 1990, 8pm Pacific Standard Time, eight hours\nwest of UTC, then the time is output as follows:\n\noption time output\n\n#### -z 1990/01/12 04:00:00 _(default)\n\n-zLT 1990-01-11 20:00:00-08\n-z+05:30 1990-01-12 09:30:00+05:30\n\n### EXAMPLES\n\nrlog -L -R RCS/*\nrlog -L -h RCS/*\nrlog -L -l RCS/*\nrlog RCS/*\n\nThe first command prints the names of all RCS files in the subdirectory RCS that have locks.\nThe second command prints the headers of those files, and the third prints the headers plus\nthe log messages of the locked revisions. The last command prints complete information.\n\n### ENVIRONMENT\n\nRCSINIT\nOptions prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces. A backslash escapes spa‐\nces within an option. The RCSINIT options are prepended to the argument lists of most\nRCS commands. Useful RCSINIT options include -q, -V, -x, and -z.\n\nRCSMEMLIMIT\nNormally, for speed, commands either memory map or copy into memory the RCS file if\nits size is less than the memory-limit, currently defaulting to ``unlimited''. Other‐\nwise (or if the initially-tried speedy ways fail), the commands fall back to using\nstandard i/o routines. You can adjust the memory limit by setting RCSMEMLIMIT to a\nnumeric value lim (measured in kilobytes). An empty value is silently ignored. As a\nside effect, specifying RCSMEMLIMIT inhibits fall-back to slower routines.\n\nTMPDIR Name of the temporary directory. If not set, the environment variables TMP and TEMP\nare inspected instead and the first value found is taken; if none of them are set, a\nhost-dependent default is used, typically /tmp.\n\n### DIAGNOSTICS\n\nThe exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful.\n\n### IDENTIFICATION\n\nAuthor: Walter F.
