UNGET
Section: POSIX Programmer's Manual (P)
Updated: 2003
NAME
unget - undo a previous get of an SCCS file (DEVELOPMENT)
SYNOPSIS
unget [-ns][-r SID] file...
DESCRIPTION
The unget utility shall reverse the effect of a get -e
done prior to
creating the intended new delta.
OPTIONS
The unget utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume
of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported:
- -r SID
-
Uniquely identify which delta is no longer intended. (This would have
been specified by get as the new delta.) The use of this option
is necessary only if two or more outstanding get commands for
editing on the same SCCS file were done by the same person (login
name).
- -s
-
Suppress the writing to standard output of the intended delta's SID.
- -n
-
Retain the file that was obtained by get, which would normally
be removed from the
current directory.
OPERANDS
The following operands shall be supported:
- file
-
A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If file
is a directory, the unget utility shall behave as
though each file in the directory were specified as a named file,
except that non-SCCS files (last component of the pathname does
not begin with s.) and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.
If exactly one file operand appears, and it is '-' , the
standard input shall be read; each line of the standard
input shall be taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed.
Non-SCCS files and unreadable files shall be silently
ignored.
STDIN
The standard input shall be a text file used only when the file
operand is specified as '-' . Each line of the
text file shall be interpreted as an SCCS pathname.
INPUT FILES
Any SCCS files processed shall be files of an unspecified format.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
unget:
- LANG
-
Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
for
the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
-
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
-
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
- LC_MESSAGES
-
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
error.
- NLSPATH
-
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES
.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
The standard output shall consist of a line for each file, in the
following format:
-
"%s\n", <SID removed from file>
If there is more than one named file or if a directory or standard
input is named, each pathname shall be written before each of
the preceding lines:
-
"\n%s:\n", <pathname>
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
Any SCCS files updated shall be files of an unspecified format. During
processing of a file, a locking z-file, as
described in get, and a q-file (a working copy of the
p-file), may be
created and deleted. The p-file and g-file, as described
in get, shall be
deleted.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
-
Successful completion.
- >0
-
An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
