- What do you mean?
-
- My understanding of RCS (based on rather limited experience of it -- I use
- SCCS by preference) is that if you incorporate something like: $Header:$
- into your source file and then place the file under RCS control with ci,
- then when you next check it out with co, you will find something like:
-
- $Header: /home/johnl/tmp/RCS/x,v 1.2 14/09/92 11:07:59 johnl Exp $
-
- in your source, at exactly where you left the original.
- If the original is in a comment, the expanded version will be in the same
- place. If the original is in a string, it will be in the string, and
- the string will be found in the executable too, so ident(1) will find it.
-
