SACT(1)                              BSD                               SACT(1)



NAME
     sact - print current SCCS file editing activity

SYNOPSIS
     sact file ...

DESCRIPTION
     sact informs you of any impending deltas to a named SCCS file.  This
     information is most helpful if you mistakenly executed a get(1) command
     using the -e option without a subsequent execution of delta(1).  If a
     directory is named on the command line, sact behaves as though each file
     in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS
     files and unreadable files are silently ignored.  If you specify a dash
     (-) instead of a filename, sact reads the standard input, interpreting
     each line as the name of an SCCS file to be processed.

     The output for each named file consists of five fields separated by
     spaces.  These fields specify the following information:

          Field 1     SID of an existing delta in the SCCS file to which
                      changes will be made to create the new delta.

          Field 2     SID for the new delta to be created.

          Field 3     Log name of the user who will make the delta; i.e.,
                      person who executed a get(1) for editing.

          Field 4     Date that the get -e command was executed.

          Field 5     Time that the get -e command was executed.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Use help(1) for explanations.
