BK-XFLAGS(1)

💅 bk xflags 💅

okay so this is the bk xflags page from the BitKeeper User’s Manual, bestie — and yes, we're gonna make flags make sense. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bk xflags — check or fix BitKeeper flags. That's the whole vibe: inspect them, fix them, keep it cute. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bk xflags [−ns] [file ...]

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

bk xflags is an administrative command used to check and/or fix BitKeeper flags. These flags control things such as what sort of keywords are expanded. (Yes, the flags are literally the main character here. 👑)

This command should not be typically needed — fr fr, it exists to fix older repositories which did not properly maintain these flags. So if you're living your best life in a fresh repo, you probably won't need it. But if bk check yields output like

src/utils/Makefile@@1.12 should have EXPAND1 flag
src/utils/README@@1.3 should have SCCS flag
src/DOCS: missing required flag[s]: BITKEEPER

then bk xflags needs to be run. No cap. 💅

With no options, bk xflags will fix the flags in all of the specified files. To fix all files, run

bk ‐A xflags

Periodt. That's the whole plot. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• −n — Do not change any files, just list any problems found. Basically a look-don't-touch moment. 👀
• −s — Do not change any files, do not list any status, just exit 0 if no problems were found, exit 1 if problems were found. Silent mode, but make it exit-code drama. 💀
