delta
The specified list of deltas are to be ignored when the version
being checked in is retrieved using get
. The list is a list of
SIDs separated by commas, or can contain ranges of SIDs (these
are indicated by a dash). Untested.
Specify the indicated list of MR numbers (separated by spaces) for
this change (see Modification Request Numbers). If the v flag
(see Flags) is set, delta
will prompt for MR numbers if none
are given on the command line. If the v flag has a non-empty
value, as opposed to just being set, then the supplied list of MR
numbers will be verified using that program. The requested delta will
not be made if this validation fails (the validation program returns a
nonzero exit status).
When the v flag is set, deltas must be checked in using
this flag. If you are using Emacs’s vc-mode, you can do this by setting
the variable vc-checkin-flags to "-m2677"
if the MR
with which you are working is numbered 2677, for example.
If this option is given, the edited file is not deleted once processing
has succeeded. The edited file is referred to as the “g-file”, since
it is the file which was previously “gotten” by the get
command.
Display the differences between the old and new versions of the file
during processing. The output of diff
is echoed on the standard
output.
If several versions are checked out, the -r command-line option is
used to specify which checked-out version this change is in reference
to. When get
is used to check out a version for editing, it
announces two SIDs:-
3.1 new delta 3.2 402 lines
One identifies the version forming the basis of the change, and the
other specifies the SID that the new version will be assigned once
it is checked in again. Either of these two SIDs (in this case,
3.1 or 3.2) can be used for the -r option of delta
.
Suppress warning or confirmation messages. Error messages go to standard error. This option is not covered in the test suite.
Specify a comment for the revision log. This option is usually quoted
to protect the spaces contained in it. An empty comment can be
specified by just using a naked -y. If this option is not given
on the command line, delta
will prompt the user for a comment.
