🌸 sccs-fix(1) — Schily´s USER COMMANDS 🌸

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're doing version control surgery today 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sccs-fix — remove the indicated delta from the SCCS history 🗑️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sccs fix [options] [file1 .. filen]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the fix subcommand essentially goes in and removes the named delta — like, yeets it out of existence. but 😭 it's lowkey picky: it is only able to revise a leaf delta. so if your delta isn't a leaf, bestie, it's not happening.

it removes the indicated delta from the SCCS history, but leaves a working copy of the current version chillin' in the directory. 🫶

and like, this is genuinely useful — it's giving "I need to fix a small compiler bug" energy, or "let me sneak in a trivial update for which no audit record is needed", or honestly just "I want to rewrite the delta commentary and start fresh." ✨

here's the thing though: sccs fix must be followed by a -r option, to specify the SID of the delta to remove. non-negotiable. and the indicated delta must be the most recent (leaf) delta in its branch. 👑

⚠️ use fix with caution, bestie 🚨 since it does not leave an audit trail of differences (although the previous commentary is retained within the history file). so like... no receipts. you've been warned. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d — fully discard the delta. by default only the file content for the related SID is removed and the delta table entry is changed to the new type R. when you're in discard mode though, the delta table entry is also completely discarded. boom, gone. 🫥
  • -rsid — specify the SID (see sccs-get(1)). yes you need this. it's kind of the whole point. 🌟

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

say you wanna fix release 1.17 of the file xec.c in the current directory — just call:

sccs fix -r1.17 xec.c

and that's it, slay. ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

see environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of sccs-fix(1): LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

  • SCCS_NO_HELP — if set, sccs fix 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. very "I want the raw truth, no glow-up" of you, honestly 🙈
