NAME
     prs - print an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     prs [-d dataspec] [-r[SID]] [-e] [-l] [-c date-time] [-a] files

DESCRIPTION
     prs prints, on the standard output, parts or all of an SCCS file [see
     sccsfile(4)] in a user-supplied format.  If a directory is named, prs
     behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named
     file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the path name does
     not begin with s.), and unreadable files are silently ignored.  If a name
     of - is given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard
     input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file or directory to be
     processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored.

     Arguments to prs, which may appear in any order, consist of keyletter
     arguments, and file names.

     All the described keyletter arguments apply independently to each named
     file:

          -d[dataspec]   Used to specify the output data specification.  The
                         dataspec is a string consisting of SCCS file data
                         keywords (see DATA KEYWORDS) interspersed with
                         optional user supplied text.

          -r[SID]        Used to specify the SCCS IDentification (SID) string
                         of a delta for which information is desired.  If no
                         SID is specified, the SID of the most recently
                         created delta is assumed.

          -e             Requests information for all deltas created earlier
                         than and including the delta designated via the -r
                         keyletter or the date given by the -c option.

          -l             Requests information for all deltas created later
                         than and including the delta designated via the -r
                         keyletter or the date given by the -c option.

          -c [date-time] The cutoff date-time -c[date-time]] is in the form:
                              YY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]]

                         Units omitted from the date-time default to their
                         maximum possible values; that is, -c7502 is
                         equivalent to -c750228235959.  The values of 00-38
                         for YY indicate 2000-2038.  YY values between 39 and
                         69 are not permitted.  Any number of non-numeric
                         characters may separate the various 2-digit pieces of
                         the cutoff date in the form:  "-c77/2/2 9:22:25".


          -a             Requests printing of information for both removed,
                         i.e., delta type = R, [see rmdel(1)] and existing,
                         i.e., delta type = D, deltas.  If the -a keyletter is
                         not specified, information for existing deltas only
                         is provided.

DATA KEYWORDS
     Data keywords specify which parts of an SCCS file are to be retrieved and
     output.  All parts of an SCCS file [see sccsfile(4)] have an associated
     data keyword.  There is no limit on the number of times a data keyword
     may appear in a dataspec.

     The information printed by prs consists of:  (1) the user-supplied text;
     and (2) appropriate values (extracted from the SCCS file) substituted for
     the  recognized data keywords in the order of appearance in the dataspec.
     The format of a data keyword value is either Simple (S), in which keyword
     substitution is direct, or Multi-line (M), in which keyword substitution
     is followed by a carriage return.

     User-supplied text is any text other than recognized data keywords.
     A tab is specified by \t and carriage return/new-line is specified by \n.
     The default data keywords are:

                      ":Dt:\t:DL:\nMRs:\n:MR:COMMENTS:\n:C:"

EXAMPLES
          prs -d"Users and/or user IDs for :F: are:\n:UN:" s.file

     may produce on the standard output:

          Users and/or user IDs for s.file are:
          xyz
          131
          abc


          prs -d"Newest delta for pgm :M:: :I: Created :D: By :P:" -r s.file

     may produce on the standard output:

          Newest delta for pgm main.c: 3.7 Created 77/12/1 By cas

     As a special case:

          prs s.file

     may produce on the standard output:

          D 1.1 77/12/1 00:00:00 cas 1 000000/00000/00000
          MRs:
          bl78-12345
          bl79-54321
          COMMENTS:
          this is the comment line for s.file initial delta

     for each delta table entry of the ``D'' type.  The only keyletter
     argument allowed to be used with the special case is the -a keyletter.
