RCS2LOG(1)

💖 rcs2log — RCS to ChangeLog generator 💖

okay so real talk, bestie: this whole page lives in the General Commands Manual section (rcs2log(1), iykyk), and it's about making change logs pop off. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rcs2log [-c changelog] [-h hostname] [-i indent] [-l length] [-R]
        [-r option] [-t tabwidth] [-u login<TAB>fullname<TAB>mailaddr]
        [-v] [--help] [--version] [file ...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So rcs2log generates a change log prefix from RCS files (maybe they're chillin' in the CVS repository, no judgment) and from the ChangeLog (if there even is one). That's the whole gig. she's a generator, she's a prefix-maker, she's booked and busy 💅

The options are as follows:

• -c changelog — outputs a change log prefix to changelog (default is ChangeLog). like, where do you want the lore to go? 💖
• -h hostname — uses hostname in the change log entries (default is the current host). put some respect on the hostname fr fr
• -i indent — indents change log lines by indent spaces (default 8). spacing is self-care ✨
• -l length — tries to limit log lines to length characters (default 79). a little restraint, as a treat
• -R — if no file(s) are given and RCS is used, recurses through the working directory. she goes deep 🌀
• -r option — passes option to the subsidiary log command. middle-manager energy but make it useful
• -t tabwidth — tab stops are every tabwidth characters (default 8). tabs, but make them make sense
• -u login<TAB>fullname<TAB>mailaddr — assumes login has fullname and mailaddr. literally just tell her who's who 🫶
• -v — appends the RCS revision to file names in log lines. receipts, but for revisions 👑
• --help — outputs help. ask and you shall receive
• --version — outputs the version number. the classic
