#### NAME

> prs - print an SCCS file (DEVELOPMENT)

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``[XSI] prs` [`-a`] [`-d` dataspec] [`-r`[SID]] file`...
> prs` [`-e|-l`] `-c` cutoff [`-d` dataspec] file`...
> prs` [`-e|-l`] `-r`[SID] [`-d` dataspec] file`...``
> `
> `

#### DESCRIPTION

> The prs utility shall write to standard output parts or all of an SCCS file in a user-supplied format.

#### OPTIONS

> The prs utility shall conform to XBD Utility Syntax Guidelines , except that the -r option has an optional option-argument. This optional option-argument cannot be presented as a separate argument. The following options shall be supported:

> -d dataspec
>   Specify the output data specification. The dataspec shall be a string consisting of SCCS file data keywords (see Data Keywords) interspersed with optional user-supplied text.
> -r[SID]
>   Specify the SCCS identification string (SID) of a delta for which information is desired. If no SID option-argument is specified, the SID of the most recently created delta shall be assumed.
> -e
>   Request information for all deltas created earlier than and including the delta designated via the -r option or the date-time given by the -c option.
> -l
>   Request information for all deltas created later than and including the delta designated via the -r option or the date-time given by the -c option.
> -c cutoff
>   Indicate the cutoff date-time, in the form:

>       YY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]]

>   For the YY component, values in the range [69,99] shall refer to years 1969 to 1999 inclusive, and values in the range [00,68] shall refer to years 2000 to 2068 inclusive.

>   Note:
>     It is expected that in a future version of this standard the default century inferred from a 2-digit year will change. (This would apply to all commands accepting a 2-digit year as input.)

>   No changes (deltas) to the SCCS file that were created after the specified cutoff date-time shall be included in the output. Units omitted from the date-time default to their maximum possible values; for example, -c 7502 is equivalent to -c 750228235959.

> -a
>   Request writing of information for both removed-that is, delta type= R (see rmdel)- and existing-that is, delta type= D,- deltas. If the -a option is not specified, information for existing deltas only shall be provided.

#### OPERANDS

> The following operand shall be supported:

> file
>   A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If file is a directory, the prs utility shall behave 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 shall be silently ignored.

>   If exactly one file operand appears, and it is `'-'`, the standard input shall be read; each line of the standard input shall be taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed. Non-SCCS files and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.

#### STDIN

> The standard input shall be a text file used only when the file operand is specified as `'-'`. Each line of the text file shall be interpreted as an SCCS pathname.

#### INPUT FILES

> Any SCCS files displayed are files of an unspecified format.

#### ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

> The following environment variables shall affect the execution of prs:

> LANG
>   Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See XBD Internationalization Variables the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)
> LC_ALL
>   If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.
> LC_CTYPE
>   Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
> LC_MESSAGES
>   Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
> NLSPATH
>   Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

#### ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

> Default.

#### STDOUT

> The standard output shall be a text file whose format is dependent on the data keywords specified with the -d option.

> ##### Data Keywords

> Data keywords specify which parts of an SCCS file shall be retrieved and output. All parts of an SCCS file have an associated data keyword. A data keyword may appear in a dataspec multiple times.

> The information written by prs shall consist of:

> 1. The user-supplied text

> 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 shall either be simple ( `'S'` ), in which keyword substitution is direct, or multi-line ( `'M'` ).

> User-supplied text shall be any text other than recognized data keywords. A <tab> shall be specified by `'\t'` and <newline> by `'\n'`. When the -r option is not specified, the default dataspec shall be:

>     :PN::\n\n

> and the following dataspec shall be used for each selected delta:

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

#### STDERR

> The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.

#### OUTPUT FILES

> None.

#### EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

> None.

#### EXIT STATUS

> The following exit values shall be returned:

> 0
>   Successful completion.
> >0
>   An error occurred.

#### CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

> Default.

The following sections are informative.

#### APPLICATION USAGE

> None.

#### EXAMPLES

> 1. The following example:

>        prs -d "User Names for :F: are:\n:UN:" s.file

>    might write to standard output:

>        User Names for s.file are:
>        xyz
>        131
>        abc

> 2. The following example:

>        prs -d "Delta for pgm :M:: :I: - :D: By :P:" -r s.file

>    might write to standard output:

>        Delta for pgm main.c: 3.7 - 77/12/01 By cas

> 3. As a special case:

>        prs s.file

>    might write to standard output:

>        s.file:
>        <blank line>
>        D 1.1 77/12/01 00:00:00 cas 1 000000/00000/00000
>        MRs:
>        bl78-12345
>        bl79-54321
>        COMMENTS:
>        this is the comment line for s.file initial delta
>        <blank line>

>    for each delta table entry of the D type. The only option allowed to be used with this special case is the -a option.

#### RATIONALE

> None.

#### FUTURE DIRECTIONS

> None.

#### SEE ALSO

> admin, delta, get, what

> XBD Environment Variables, Utility Syntax Guidelines

#### CHANGE HISTORY

> First released in Issue 2.

#### Issue 5

> The phrase "in which keyword substitution is followed by a <newline>" is deleted from the end of the second paragraph of Data Keywords.

> The interpretation of the YY component of the -c cutoff argument is noted.

#### Issue 6

> The normative text is reworded to emphasize the term "shall" for implementation requirements.

> The Open Group Base Resolution bwg2001-007 is applied, updating the table in STDOUT with a note that line statistics are capped at 99999 for the :Li:, :Ld:, :Lu:, and :DL: keywords.

> The Open Group Interpretation PIN4C.00009 is applied.

#### Issue 7

> SD5-XCU-ERN-97 is applied, updating the SYNOPSIS.
