Print an activity log for the files.

The standard meaning of the common client option -l applies. Additional options are:

-b

List revisions on default branch.

-d dates

Report on these dates.

-h

Print header only.

-N

Don’t print tags.

-r[revisions]

Report on the listed revisions. There is no space between -r and its argument. Without an argument, the latest revision of the default branch is used.

-R

Print RCS filename only. The usage of -R here is different from elsewhere in CVS (-R usually causes CVS to operate recursively).

-s states

Print only those revisions having one of the specified states.

-S

Don’t print the header if the output would otherwise be empty.

-t

Print only header and descriptive text.

-wlogins

Report on checkins by the listed logins. There is no space between -w and its argument.

For -d, use the date specifications in Table 15-23. Multiple specifications separated by semicolons may be provided. For -s, separate multiple states with commas.
