Name

rlog

Synopsis

rlog [options]files

Display identification information for RCS files, including the log message associated with each revision, the number of lines added or removed, date of last check-in, etc. With no options, rlog displays all information. Use options to display specific items. rlog accepts the standard options -q, -V, -V n, -T, -x, and -z.

Options

-b

Prune the display; print information only about the default branch.

-d dates

Display information for revisions whose check-in timestamp falls in the range of dates (a list separated by semicolons). Be sure to use quotes. Each date can be specified as:

d1 < d2

Select revisions between date d1 and d2, inclusive.

d1 <

Select revisions made on or after date1.

d1 >

Select revisions made on or before date1.

Timestamp comparisons are strict. If two files have exactly the same time, < and > won’t work. Use <= and >= instead.

-h

Display the beginning of the normal rlog listing.

-l[ users ]

Display information only about locked revisions or, if users is specified, only about revisions locked by the list of users.

-L

Skip files that aren’t locked.

-N

Don’t print symbolic names.

R1.	If R1 is a branch, select its latest revision.
R1 : R2	Select revisions R1 through R2.
