rcsclean

rcsclean [options ] [files ]

Although included with RCS, this command is optional and might not be installed on your system. rcsclean compares checked-out files against the corresponding latest revision or revision R (as given by the options). If no differences are found, the working file is removed. (Use rcsdiff to find differences.) rcsclean is useful in makefiles; for example, you could specify a "clean-up" target to update your directories. rcsclean is also useful prior to running rcsfreeze . rcsclean accepts the standard options -q , -V , -V n , -T , -x , and -z .

Options

-k c

When comparing revisions, expand keywords using style c . (See co for values of c .)

-n [R ]

Show what would happen but don't actually execute.

-r [R ]

Compare against revision R . R can be supplied as arguments to other options, so -r is redundant.

-u [R ]

Unlock the revision if it's the same as the working file.

Example

Remove unchanged copies of program and header files:

rcsclean *.c *.h
