Comment.Cmd 1.10 4-Apr-1996
NAME
comment - display or change file comments
SYNOPSIS
comment [options] fileSpec [comment]
comment -d [--delete] fileSpec...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents Comment.Cmd. Comment.Cmd allows you
to display or change file comments. You can also view and edit
file comments using the WPS (open the settings notebook for the
file, and turn to the third page of the File tab).
If `comment' is specified, it is assigned to the files matching
fileSpec. Existing comments are not replaced unless the -f
(--force) option is given. You should NOT put quotation marks
around the comment, unless you want them to be part of it.
If `comment' is not specified, comments are displayed for all
files matching fileSpec.
The `-s' (--subject) option tells Comment.Cmd to use the
subject field instead of the comments field. In the settings
notebook, the subject field is on the first page of the File
tab.
OPTIONS
-a, --all-files
List all files, including those without comments
-d, --delete
Delete comments from all files matching fileSpec.
Multiple fileSpec's can be given with this option.
-f, --force
Replace existing comments
-q, --quiet
Do not display status messages
-s, --subject
Manipulate the subject field instead of the comments
-?, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit
--license
Print license information on standard output and exit
--version
Print version information on standard output and exit
BUGS
Can not display comments that span multiple lines (displays
`<Multi-line comment>' instead).
