A range consisting of a branch number means the latest revision on that branch. None of the outdated revisions can have branches or locks. Set the state attribute of the revision rev to state . If rev is a branch number, assume the latest revision on that branch. If rev is omitted, assume the latest revision on the default branch.
Any identifier is acceptable for state .
At least one explicit option must be given, to ensure compa- tibility with future planned extensions to the rcs command. The - b rev option generates an RCS file that cannot be parsed by RCS version 3 or earlier. Use rcs - V n to make an RCS file acceptable to RCS version n by discarding information that would confuse version n . RCS version 5.5 and earlier does not support the - x option, and requires a ,v suffix on an RCS pathname. The RCS pathname and the revisions outdated are written to the diagnostic output.
