User Commands                                       sccs-delta(1)



NAME
     sccs-delta, delta - make a delta to an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ccs/bin/delta [-dnps] [-g sid-list  |  -gsid-list]   [-
     m mr-list  |  -mmr-list]   [-r sid | -rsid]  [ -y [comment]]
     s.filename...

     /usr/xpg4/bin/delta [-dnps] [-g sid-list |  -gsid-list]   [-
     m mr-list  |  -mmr-list]   [-r sid | -rsid]  [ -y [comment]]
     s.filename...

DESCRIPTION
     The delta utility checks in a  record  of  the  line-by-line
     differences  made  to  a checked-out version of a file under
     SCCS control. These changes  are  taken  from  the  writable
     working  copy  that was retrieved using the SCCS get command
     (see sccs-get(1)).  This working copy does not have the `s.'
     prefix, and is also referred to as a g-file.

     If a directory name is used in place of the s.filename argu-
     ment,  the  delta  command  applies  to  all s.files in that
     directory. Unreadable s.files produce an  error;  processing
     continues with the next file (if any). The use of `-' as the
     s.filename argument indicates that the names of files are to
     be  read  from  the  standard  input,  one  s.file  per line
     (requires -y, and in some cases, -m).

     delta may issue prompts on  the  standard  output  depending
     upon the options specified and the flags that are set in the
     s.file (see sccs-admin(1), and the -m and -y options  below,
     for details).

  /usr/xpg4/bin/delta
     The SID of the delta is not echoed to stdout.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -d                              Use command diff(1)  instead
                                     of  bdiff(1).  Returns  exit
                                     status 2 if s.filename argu-
                                     ment is not specified.



     -n                              Retain  the  edited  g-file,
                                     which is normally removed at
                                     the completion  of  process-
                                     ing.

                                     ences (in diff(1) format) on
                                     the standard output.



     -s                              Silent.   Do   not   display
                                     warning or confirmation mes-
                                     sages.   Do   not   suppress
                                     error  messages  (which  are
                                     written to standard error).



     -g sid-list | -gsid-list        Specify a list of deltas  to
                                     omit   when   the   file  is
                                     accessed at the SCCS version
                                     ID  (SID)  created  by  this
                                     delta. sid-list is a  comma-
                                     separated  list  of SIDs. To
                                     specify a range  of  deltas,
                                     use  a `-' separator instead
                                     of a comma, between two SIDs
                                     in the list.



     -m mr-list | -mmr-list          If the SCCS file has  the  v
                                     flag    set    (see    sccs-
                                     admin(1)), you  must  supply
                                     one   or  more  Modification
                                     Request (MR) numbers for the
                                     new  delta.  When specifying
                                     more than one MR  number  on
                                     the  command  line,  mr-list
                                     takes the form of a  quoted,
                                     space-separated  list. If -m
                                     is not used and the standard
                                     input  is  a terminal, delta
                                     prompts with  MRs?  for  the
                                     list   (before  issuing  the
                                     comments? prompt). If the  v
                                     flag  in  the  s.file  has a
                                     value, it is taken to be the
                                     name  of  a program to vali-
                                     date the MR numbers. If that
                                     validation program returns a
                                     non-zero exit status,  delta
                                     terminates  without checking
                                     in the changes.

                                     version to  check  in.  This
                                     SID  value can be either the
                                     SID  specified  on  the  get
                                     command  line, or the SID of

                                     checked  in  as  reported by
                                     get. A diagnostic results if
                                     the specified SID is ambigu-
                                     ous, or if one  is  required
                                     but not supplied.



     -y[comment]                     Supply  a  comment  for  the
                                     delta table (version log). A
                                     null  comment  is  accepted,
                                     and  produces  an empty com-
                                     mentary in the log. If -y is
                                     not  specified and the stan-
                                     dard input  is  a  terminal,
                                     delta   prompts  with  `com-
                                     ments?'. An  unescaped  NEW-
                                     LINE terminates the comment.



ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
     variables  that affect the execution of delta: LANG, LC_ALL,
     LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0        Successful completion.



     1        An error occurred and the -d option  had  not  been
              specified.



     2        An error occurred, the -d option  had  been  speci-
              fied,  and  the  s.filename argument was not speci-
              fied.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Use the  SCCS  help  command  for  explanations  (see  sccs-
     help(1)).

WARNINGS
     Lines beginning with an ASCII  SOH  character  (binary  001)
     cannot be placed in the SCCS file unless the SOH is escaped.
     This character has special meaning to SCCS (see sccsfile(4))
     and produces an error.
