@c Description
@c -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
@node rlogIntro, rlogOptions,,rlog
@section Description
@code{rlog} prints information about RCS files.
Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote RCS files; all
others denote working files. Names are paired as
explained in @ref{ciFiles}.
@code{rlog} prints the following information for each RCS file:
RCS pathname, working pathname, head (i.e., the number of
the latest revision on the trunk), default branch, access
list, locks, symbolic names, suffix, total number of revisions,
number of revisions selected for printing, and
descriptive text. This is followed by entries for the
selected revisions in reverse chronological order for each
branch. For each revision, rlog prints revision number,
author, date/time, state, number of lines added/deleted
(with respect to the previous revision), locker of the
revision (if any), and log message. All times are displayed
in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by default;
this can be overridden with @code{-z}. Without options,
@code{rlog} prints complete information.
The options below restrict this output.

@table @code
@item -d@file{dates}
Print information about revisions with a checkin date/time
in the ranges given by the semicolon-separated list of
@file{dates}. A range of the form @file{d1}<@file{d2} or
@file{d2}>@file{d1} selects the revisions that were
deposited between @file{d1} and @file{d2} exclusive. A range of
the form <@file{d} or @file{d}> selects all revisions earlier
than @file{d}. A range of the form @file{d}< or >@file{d} selects
all revisions dated later than @file{d}. If @code{<} or
@code{>} is followed by @code{=} then the ranges are inclusive,
not exclusive. A range of the form @file{d} selects the
single, latest revision dated @file{d} or earlier. The date/time
strings @file{d}, @file{d1}, and @file{d2} are in the free
format explained in @ref{coOptd}. Quoting is normally necessary,
especially for @code{<} and @code{>}. Note that the separator is
a semicolon.

Print information about locked revisions only. In
addition, if the comma-separated list @file{lockers} of login
names is given, ignore all locks other than those held
by the @file{lockers}. For example,
@example
rlog -L -R -lwft RCS/*

@table @code
@item -r@file{revisions}
prints information about revisions given in the commaseparated
list @code{revisions} of revisions and ranges. A range
@code{@file{rev1}:@file{rev2}} means revisions @file{rev1} to
@file{rev2} on the same branch, @code{:@file{rev}} means
revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and including
@file{rev} , and @code{@file{rev}:} means revisions starting
with @file{rev} to the end of the branch containing @file{rev}.
An argument that is a branch means all revisions on that branch.
A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in
that range. A branch followed by a . means the latest revision
in that branch. A bare @code{-r} with no @file{revisions} means
the latest revision on the default branch, normally the trunk.

Rlog prints the intersection of the revisions selected
with the options @code{-d}, @code{-l}, @code{-s}, and @code{-w},
intersected with the union of the revisions selected by
@code{-b} and @code{-r}.
@table @code
@item -z@file{zone}
specifies the date output format, and specifies the
default time zone for @file{date} in the @code{-d@file{dates}} option.
The @file{zone} should be empty, a numeric UTC offset, or
the special string @code{LT} for local time. The default
is an empty @file{zone} , which uses the traditional RCS
format of UTC without any time zone indication and
with slashes separating the parts of the date; oth-
erwise, times are output in ISO 8601 format with
time zone indication. For example, if local time
is January 11, 1990, 8pm Pacific Standard Time,
eight hours west of UTC, then the time is output as
follows:
@example
@group
option time output
-z 1990/01/12 04:00:00 (default)
-zLT 1990-01-11 20:00:00-08

prints the headers of those files, and the third prints
the headers plus the log messages of the locked revisions.

The separator for revision ranges in the @code{-r} option used to
be @code{-} instead of @code{:}, but this leads to confusion when symbolic
names contain @code{-}. For backwards compatibility
@code{rlog -r} still supports the old @code{-} separator, but it warns about
this obsolete use.
