rcs.sc

This file contains interface functions for the GNU Revision Control System. RCS manages multiple revisions of a file and automates the storing, retrieval, logging and identification of revisions. The following functions work on the current file and are reachable by the Version menu (see §5.33 page . For more information, consult the RCS manual.

• void rcs_initialize(); creates and initializes a new RCS file then deposits the 1.1 revision and checks out unlocked (i.e. read only) this revision. If the current buffer has no name, it prompts in a dialog box to get a filename. Then a message indicates that the revision 1.1 has been initialized.

• int rcs_check_in(); checks existing, initializing and locking permissions then prompts for a log message and deposits a new version (the current buffer is cleared). Return 1 if success else 0.

• void rcs_check_in_and_out_locked(); does the same as the previous function then checks out locked (i.e. writable) the desired revision (the current buffer is restored).

• void rcs_check_in_and_out_unlocked(); does the same work as the function rcs_check_in then checks out unlocked the desired revision (the current buffer is restored but the file is read-only).

• void rcs_check_out_locked(); verifies locking permissions and checks out locked the needed revision (default last).

• void rcs_check_out_unlocked(); verifies locking permissions and checks out unlocked the needed revision (default last).

• void rcs_diff(); displays the differences between the current revision and another specified revision.

• void rcs_lock_revision(); prompts for a filename and a revision number then locks it.

• void rcs_unlock_revision(); prompts for a filename and a revision number then unlocks it.

• void rcs_log(); prints information about revisions of the current RCS file.

• void rcs_repository(); displays the contents of the local RCS directory.
