NAME
     sccs-get, get - retrieve a version of an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ccs/bin/get [-begkmnpst]  [  -l  [p]]  [-asequence]  [-
     c date-time   |   -cdate-time]   [-Gg-file]  [-i sid-list  |
     -isid-list]   [  -r  [sid]]   [-x sid-list   |   -xsid-list]
     s.filename...

     /usr/xpg4/bin/get [-begkmnpst] [  -l  [p]]  [-asequence]  [-
     c date-time   |   -cdate-time]   [-Gg-file]  [-i sid-list  |
     -isid-list]  [-r sid | -rsid]   [-x sid-list  |  -xsid-list]
     s.filename...

DESCRIPTION
     The get utility retrieves a working copy from the SCCS  his-
     tory file, according to the specified options.

     For each s.filename argument, get displays the   SCCS  delta
     ID (SID) and number of lines retrieved.

     If a directory name is used in place of the s.filename argu-
     ment,  the get command applies to all s.files in that direc-
     tory. Unreadable s.files produce an error;  processing  con-
     tinues  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.

     The retrieved file normally has the same  filename  base  as
     the  s.file,  less the prefix, and is  referred to as the g-
     file.

     For each file processed, get responds (on the standard  out-
     put)  with  the  SID  being accessed, and with the number of
     lines retrieved from the s.file.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -asequence              Retrieves the version  corresponding
                             to   the  indicated  delta  sequence
                             number. This  option  is  used  pri-
                             marily by the SCCS comb command (see
                             sccs-comb(1)). For users, -r  is  an
                             easier way to specify a version. The
                             -a option supersedes the  -r  option
                             when both are used.



     -b                      Creates a new branch. Used with  the
                             -e  option  to indicate that the new

                             delta should have a  SID  in  a  new
                             branch.  Instead of incrementing the
                             level for version to be checked  in,
                             get indicates in the p.file that the
                             delta to be checked in should either
                             initialize a new branch and sequence
                             (if there is no existing  branch  at
                             the current level), or increment the
                             branch component of the SID. If  the
                             b  flag  is  not  set in the s.file,
                             this option is ignored.



     -c date-time | -cdate-tiRmeetrieves the latest version checked
                             in  prior to the date and time indi-
                             cated  by  the  date-time  argument.
                             date-time takes the form:

                              yy[mm[dd[ hh[mm[ss]]]]]

                             Units  omitted  from  the  indicated
                             date  and time default to their max-
                             imum possible values; that is -c7502
                             is   equivalent  to  -c750228235959.
                             Values of  yy  in  the  range  69-99
                             refer   to  the  twentieth  century.
                             Values in the range 00-68  refer  to
                             the twenty-first century. Any number
                             of   non-numeric   characters    may
                             separate  the  various  2 digit com-
                             ponents. If  white-space  characters
                             occur,  the  date-time specification
                             must be quoted.



     -e                      Retrieves  a  version  for  editing.
                             With  this option, get places a lock
                             on the s.file, so that no  one  else
                             can  check in changes to the version
                             you have checked out. If the j  flag
                             is  set  in  the s.file, the lock is
                             advisory: get issues a warning  mes-
                             sage.  Concurrent  use  of `get  -e'
                             for different SIDs is allowed.  How-
                             ever,  get will not check out a ver-
                             sion of the file if a writable  ver-
                             sion  is  present  in the directory.
                             All SCCS file protections stored  in
                             the  s.file,  including  the release

     -g                      Gets the SCCS  version  ID,  without
                             retrieving  the version itself. Used
                             to verify the existence of a partic-
                             ular SID.



     -Gnewname               Uses newname  as  the  name  of  the
                             retrieved version.



     -i sid-list | -isid-listSpecifies  a  list  of   deltas   to
                             include  in  the  retrieved version.
                             The included deltas are noted in the
                             standard output message. 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.



     -k                      Suppresses expansion of ID keywords.
                             -k is implied by the -e.



     -l[p]                   Retrieves a  summary  of  the  delta
                             table  (version log) and write it to
                             a listing file, with the `l.' prefix
                             (called `l.file'). When -lp is used,
                             write the summary onto the  standard
                             output.



     -m                      Precedes each  retrieved  line  with
                             the SID of the delta in which it was
                             added  to  the  file.  The  SID   is
                             separated from the line with a TAB.



     -n                      Precedes each line with the  %M%  ID
                             keyword  and a TAB. When both the -m
                             and -n options are used, the ID key-
                             word  precedes the SID, and the line

                             of text.



     -p                      Writes the  text  of  the  retrieved
                             version  to the standard output. All
                             messages that  normally  go  to  the
                             standard  output  are written to the
                             standard error instead.



     -s                      Suppresses all output normally writ-
                             ten on the standard output. However,
                             fatal error messages  (which  always
                             go  to  the  standard  error) remain
                             unaffected.



     -t                      Retrieves the most recently  created
                             (top)  delta in a given release (for
                             example: -r1).



  /usr/ccs/bin/get
     -r[sid]                 Retrieves the version  corresponding
                             to the indicated SID (delta).

                             The SID  for  a  given  delta  is  a
                             number,  in  Dewey  decimal  format,
                             composed of two or four fields:  the
                             release  and  level  fields, and for
                             branch  deltas,   the   branch   and
                             sequence  fields.   For instance, if
                             1.2 is the SID, 1  is  the  release,
                             and  2  is  the  level  number.   If
                             1.2.3.4 is the SID, 3 is the  branch
                             and 4 is the sequence number.

                             You need not specify the entire  SID
                             to retrieve a version with get. When
                             you omit -r altogether, or when  you
                             omit  both  release  and  level, get
                             normally   retrieves   the   highest
                             release and level.  If the d flag is
                             set to an SID in the s.file and  you
                             omit  the  SID,  get  retrieves  the
                             default version  indicated  by  that
                             flag.

                             When you specify a release but  omit
                             the level, get retrieves the highest
                             level  in  that  release.  If   that
                             release    does   not   exist,   get
                             retrieves  highest  level  from  the
                             next-highest existing release.

                             Similarly  with  branches,  if   you
                             specify a release, level and branch,
                             get retrieves the  highest  sequence
                             in that branch.



  /usr/xpg4/bin/get
     -r sid | -rsid          Same as for /usr/ccs/bin/get  except
                             that SID is mandatory.



     -x sid-list | -xsid-listExcludes the indicated  deltas  from
                             the  retrieved version. The excluded
                             deltas are  noted  in  the  standard
                             output   message.   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.

     (1)      `R', `L', `B', and `S' are the `release',  `level',
              `branch',  and  `sequence'  components  of the SID,
              respectively; `m' means `maximum'. Thus, for  exam-
              ple,  `R.mL' means `the maximum level number within
              release  R';  `R.L.(mB+1).1'   means   `the   first
              sequence number on the new branch (that is, maximum
              branch number plus one) of level L  within  release
              R'.  Note:  If  the  SID  specified  is of the form
              `R.L', `R.L.B', or `R.L.B.S', each of the specified
              components must exist.



     (2)      The -b option is effective only if the  b  flag  is
              present   in  the  file.  An  entry  of  `-'  means
              `irrelevant'.

     (3)      This case applies if the d (default  SID)  flag  is
              not  present in the file.  If the d flag is present
              in the file, the SID obtained from the  d  flag  is
              interpreted as if it had been specified on the com-
              mand line. Thus, one of the  other  cases  in  this
              table applies.



     (4)      Forces  creation  of  the  first  delta  in  a  new
              release.



     (5)      `hR' is the highest existing release that is  lower
              than the specified, nonexistent, release R.



     (6)      Successor.

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

BUGS
     If the effective user has write  permission  (either  expli-
     citly  or  implicitly)  in the directory containing the SCCS
     files, but the real user does not,  only  one  file  may  be
     named when using -e.
