NAME

sccs-unedit - "Undo" the last edit or `get -e', return to previous condition

SYNOPSIS

sccs unedit [options] [file1 .. filen]

DESCRIPTION

The sccs unedit subcommand "undo"s the last edit or `get -e', and return the working copy to its previous condition. unedit backs out all pending changes made since the file was checked out. It should be used with extreme caution, since any changes you made since the get will be irretrievably lost.

OPTIONS

-o

Retrieves the unedited file under the original time of the requested version.

Use this option with care, as it may be in conflict with make(1) rules. Using `unedit -o' thus may cause make to perform an automatic retrieval of the latest version as the s.file is newer than the gotten file, or cause make to skip the compilation as the compilation result is already newer than the gotten file.

This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in historic sccs implementations.

EXAMPLES

To unedit the file xec.c in the current directory call:

: sccs unedit xec.c

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of sccs-unedit(1): LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

SCCS_NO_HELP: If set, sccs unedit will not automatically call help(1) with the SCCS error code in order to print a more helpful error message. Scripts that depend on the exact error messages of SCCS commands should set the environment variable SCCS_NO_HELP and set LC_ALL=C.
