s.filename...
prt prints selected portions of an SCCS file. By
default, it prints the delta table (version log).
If a directory name is used in place of the s.filename
argument, the prt command applies to all s.files in that
directory. Unreadable s.files produce an error; processing continues
with the next file (if any). The use of `−' as the
s.filename argument indicates that the names of files are to be read
from the standard input, one s.file per line.
If any option other than -y, -c, or -r is
supplied, the name of each file being processed (preceded by one
NEWLINE and followed by two NEWLINE characters) appears above
its contents.
If none of the -u, -f, -t, or -b
options are used, -d is assumed. -s, -i are mutually
exclusive, as are -c and -r.
- -a
- Display log entries for all deltas, including those marked as removed.
- -b
- Print the body of the s.file.
- -d
- Print delta table entries. This is the default.
- -e
- Everything. This option implies -d, -i, -u,
-f, and -t.
- -f
- Print the flags of each named s.file.
- -i
- Print the serial numbers of included, excluded, and ignored deltas.
- -s
- Print only the first line of the delta table entries; that is, only up to
the statistics.
- -t
- Print the descriptive text contained in the s.file.
- -u
- Print the user-names and/or numerical group IDs of users allowed to
make deltas.
- -cdate-time
- Exclude delta table entries that are specified cutoff date and time. Each
entry is printed as a single line, preceded by the name of the SCCS
file. This format (also produced by -r, and -y) makes it
easy to sort multiple delta tables in chronological order. When both
-y and -c, or -y and -r are supplied,
prt stops printing when the first of the two conditions is met.
- -rdate-time
- Exclude delta table entries that are newer than the specified cutoff date
and time.
- -ysid
- Exclude delta table entries made prior to the SID specified. If no
delta in the table has the specified SID, the entire table is printed. If
no SID is specified, the most recent delta is printed.
- -Nbulk-spec
- Processes a bulk of SCCS history files. This option allows to do an
efficient mass processing of SCCS history files.
The bulk-spec parameter is composed from an optional
list of flag parameters followed by an optional path
specifier.
The following flag types are supported:
- none
The following path specifier types are supported:
- -N
- The file name parameters to the prt command are not
s.filename files but the names of the g-files. The
s.filename names are automatically derived from the g-file names by
prepending s. to the last path name component. Both,
s.filename and the g-file are in the same directory.
- -Ns.
- The file name parameters to the prt command are s.filename
files. The the g-files names are automatically derived by removing
s. from the beginning of last path name component of the
s.filename. Both, s.filename and the g-file are in the same
directory.
- -Ndir
- The file name parameters to the prt command are not
s.filename files but the names of the g-files. The
s.filename names are put into directory dir, the names are
automatically derived from the g-file names by prepending
dir/s. to the last path name component.
- -Ndir/s.
- The file name parameters to the prt command are s.filename
files in directory dir. The the g-files names are automatically
derived by removing dir/s. from the beginning of last path
name component of the s.filename.
A typical value for dir is SCCS.
In order to overcome the limited number of exec(2)
arguments, it is recommended to use `−' as the file name
parameter for prt(1) and to send a list of path names to
stdin.
This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in
historic sccs implementations.
- -V
- -version
- --version
- Prints the prt version number string and exists.
This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist
in historic sccs implementations.
The following format is used to print those portions of the
s.file that are specified by the various options.
- o
- Date and time of creation in the form:
yy/mm/dd
hh/mm/ss
- o
- Username the delta's creator
- o
- Serial number of the delta
- o
- Predecessor delta's serial number
- o
- Line-by-line change statistics in the form:
inserted/deleted/unchanged
- o
- List of included deltas, followed by a NEWLINE (only if there were
any such deltas and the -i options was used)
- o
- List of excluded deltas, followed by a NEWLINE (only if there were
any such deltas and the -i options was used)
- o
- List of ignored deltas, followed by a NEWLINE (only if there were
any such deltas and the -i options was used)
- o
- List of modification requests (MRs), followed by a NEWLINE (only if
any MR numbers were supplied).
- o
- Lines of the delta commentary (if any), followed by a NEWLINE.
Example 1 Examples of prt.
The following command:
example% /usr/ccs/bin/prt -y program.c
produces a one-line display of the delta table entry for the most
recent version:
s.program.c:
D 1.6 88/07/06 21:39:39 username 5 4 00159/00080/00636
...
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following
environment variables that affect the execution of prt(1):
LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and
NLSPATH.
- SCCS_NO_HELP
- If set, prt(1) will not automatically call help(1) with the
SCCS error code in order to print a more helpful error message. Scripts
that depend on the exact error messages of SCCS commands should set the
environment variable SCCS_NO_HELP and set LC_ALL=C.
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- 1
- An error occurred.
- s.file
- SCCS history file, see sccsfile(4).
- dump.core
- If the file dump.core exists in the current directory and a fatal
signal is received, a coredump is initiated via abort(3).

The SCCS suite was originally written by Marc J. Rochkind
at Bell Labs in 1972. Release 4.0 of SCCS, introducing new versions
of the programs admin(1), get(1), prt(1), and
delta(1) was published on February 18, 1977; it introduced the new
text based SCCS v4 history file format (previous SCCS
releases used a binary history file format). The SCCS suite was later
maintained by various people at AT&T and Sun Microsystems. Since 2006,
the SCCS suite is maintained by Joerg Schilling.
A frequently updated source code for the SCCS suite is
included in the schilytools project and may be retrieved from the
schilytools project at Sourceforge at:
