rcsclean

rcsclean [options] [files]

Although included with RCS, this command is optional and might not be installed on your system. rcsclean compares 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, and -x.

Options

-kc

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.

-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
