  NAME

    cdc - Changes delta commentary of an SCCS delta

  SYNOPSIS

    cdc -rSID [-m[mrlist]] [-y[comment]] file ...

  FLAGS

    -rSID         Specifies the SCCS identification (SID) string of a delta
                  for which the delta commentary is to be changed.

    -m[mrlist]    If the SCCS file has the v flag set (see admin()) then a
                  list of MR numbers to be added and/or deleted in the delta
                  commentary of the SID specified by the -r flag may be
                  supplied.  A null MR list has no effect.

                  MR entries are added to the list of MRs in the same manner
                  as that of delta.  In order to delete an MR, precede the MR
                  number with the character ! (see EXAMPLES).  If the MR to be
                  deleted is currently in the list of MRs, it is removed and
                  changed into a ``comment'' line.  A list of all deleted MRs
                  is placed in the comment section of the delta commentary and
                  preceded by a comment line stating that they were deleted.

                  If -m is not used and stdin is a terminal, the prompt MRs?
                  is issued on stdout before stdin is read; if stdin is not a
                  terminal, no prompt is issued.  The MRs? prompt always
                  precedes the comments? prompt (see -y flag).

                  MRs in a list are separated by blanks and/or tab characters.
                  An unescaped newline character terminates the MR list.

                  Note that if the v flag has a value [see admin()], it is
                  taken to be the name of a program (or shell procedure) which
                  validates the correctness of the MR numbers.  If a nonzero
                  exit status is returned from the MR number validation
                  program, cdc terminates and the delta commentary remains
                  unchanged.

    -y[comment]   Arbitrary text used to replace the comment(s) already
                  existing for the delta specified by the -r flag.  The
                  previous comments are kept and preceded by a comment line
                  stating that they were changed.  A null comment has no
                  effect.

                  If -y is not specified and stdin is a terminal, the prompt
                  comments? is issued on stdout before stdin is read; if stdin
                  is not a terminal, no prompt is issued.  An unescaped
                  newline character terminates the comment text.

  cdc(1)                              CLIX                              cdc(1)



  DESCRIPTION

    The cdc command changes the delta commentary, for the SID (SCCS
    identification string) specified by the -r flag, of each named SCCS file.

    Delta commentary is defined to be the Modification Request (MR) and
    comment information normally specified with the delta command (-m and -y
    flags).

    If a directory is named, cdc behaves as though each file in the directory
    were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component
    of the pathname does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently
    ignored.  If a name of - is given, stdin is read (see CAUTIONS) and each
    line of stdin is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed.

    Arguments to cdc, which may appear in any order, consist of flag arguments
    and filenames.  The flag arguments are either (1) if you made the delta,
    you can change its delta commentary; or (2) if you own the file and
    directory you can modify the delta commentary.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To add bl78-12345 and bl79-00001 to the MR list, remove bl77-54321
        from the MR list, and add the comment trouble to delta 1.6 of s.file:

        cdc -r1.6 -m"bl78-12345 !bl77-54321 bl79-00001" -ytrouble s.file.


    2.  The following has the same effect as the previous example:

        cdc -r1.6 s.file
        MRs? !bl77-54321 bl78-12345 bl79-00001
        comments? trouble


  CAUTIONS

    If SCCS filenames are supplied to the cdc command with stdin (- on the
    command line), then the -m and -y flags must also be used.

  FILES

    x-file   (see delta)

    Z-file   (see delta)

    The cdc command returns a value of 0 if successful.  If unsuccessful, cdc
    returns a value of 1.
