Name
rcsclean
Synopsis
rcsclean [options] [files]
Description
Compare checked-out files against the corresponding latest revision or revision R (as given by the options). If no differences are found, the working file is removed. (Use rcsdiff to find differences.) rcsclean is useful in makefiles. For example, you could specify a “clean-up” target to update your directories. rcsclean is also useful prior to running rcsfreeze. rcsclean accepts the standard options -q, -V, -x, and -z.
Options
- -k c
When comparing revisions, expand keywords using style c. (See co for values of c.)
- -n[R]
Show what would happen, but don’t actually execute.
- -r[R]
Compare against revision R. R can be supplied as arguments to other options, so -r is redundant.
- -T
Preserve the modification time of the RCS file even if a lock is added or removed.
- -u[R]
Unlock the revision if it’s the same as the working file.
Examples
Remove unchanged copies of program and header files:
rcsclean *.c *.h
