       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       prs — print an SCCS file (DEVELOPMENT)

SYNOPSIS         top

       prs [-a] [-d dataspec] [-r[SID]] file...

       prs [-e|-l] -c cutoff [-d dataspec] file...

       prs [-e|-l] -r[SID] [-d dataspec] file...

DESCRIPTION         top

       The prs utility shall write to standard output parts or all of an
       SCCS file in a user-supplied format.

OPTIONS         top

       The prs utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
       POSIX.1‐2017, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines, except
       that the -r option has an optional option-argument. This optional
       option-argument cannot be presented as a separate argument. The
       following options shall be supported:

       -d dataspec
                 Specify the output data specification. The dataspec
                 shall be a string consisting of SCCS file data keywords
                 (see Data Keywords) interspersed with optional user-
                 supplied text.

       -r[SID]   Specify the SCCS identification string (SID) of a delta
                 for which information is desired. If no SID option-
                 argument is specified, the SID of the most recently
                 created delta shall be assumed.

       -e        Request information for all deltas created earlier than
                 and including the delta designated via the -r option or
                 the date-time given by the -c option.

       -l        Request information for all deltas created later than
                 and including the delta designated via the -r option or
                 the date-time given by the -c option.

       -c cutoff Indicate the cutoff date-time, in the form:

                     YY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]]

                 For the YY component, values in the range [69,99] shall
                 refer to years 1969 to 1999 inclusive, and values in
                 the range [00,68] shall refer to years 2000 to 2068
                 inclusive.

                 Note:  It is expected that in a future version of this
                        standard the default century inferred from a
                        2-digit year will change. (This would apply to
                        all commands accepting a 2-digit year as input.)

                 No changes (deltas) to the SCCS file that were created
                 after the specified cutoff date-time shall be included
                 in the output. Units omitted from the date-time default
                 to their maximum possible values; for example, -c 7502
                 is equivalent to -c 750228235959.

       -a        Request writing of information for both removed—that
                 is, delta type=R (see rmdel(1p))—and existing—that is,
                 delta type=D,—deltas. If the -a option is not
                 specified, information for existing deltas only shall
                 be provided.

OPERANDS         top

       The following operand shall be supported:

       file      A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If
                 file is a directory, the prs 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         top

       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         top

       Any SCCS files displayed are files of an unspecified format.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES         top

       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
       prs:

       LANG      Provide a default value for the internationalization
                 variables that are unset or null. (See the Base
                 Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 8.2,
                 Internationalization Variables 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         top

       Default.

STDOUT         top

       The standard output shall be a text file whose format is
       dependent on the data keywords specified with the -d option.

   Data Keywords
       Data keywords specify which parts of an SCCS file shall be
       retrieved and output. All parts of an SCCS file have an
       associated data keyword. A data keyword may appear in a dataspec
       multiple times.

       The information written by prs shall consist of:

        1. The user-supplied text

        2. Appropriate values (extracted from the SCCS file) substituted
           for the recognized data keywords in the order of appearance
           in the dataspec

       The format of a data keyword value shall either be simple ('S'),
       in which keyword substitution is direct, or multi-line ('M').

       User-supplied text shall be any text other than recognized data
       keywords. A <tab> shall be specified by '\t' and <newline> by
       '\n'.  When the -r option is not specified, the default dataspec
       shall be:

           :PN::\n\n

       and the following dataspec shall be used for each selected delta:
