NAME

unget - undo a previous get of an SCCS ﬁle

SYNOPSIS

unget [-r SID][-s][

-n] ﬁle ...

DESCRIPTION

The

unget command undoes the effect of a

get -e done prior to creating the intended new delta. If ﬁle

is a directory name,

unget treats each ﬁle in the directory as a ﬁle to be processed, except that non-

SCCS

ﬁles and unreadable ﬁles are silently ignored. If

- is speciﬁed for ﬁle, the standard input is read with

each line being taken as the name of an

SCCS ﬁle to be processed. Refer to sact (1), which describes how

to determine what deltas are currently binding for an s-ﬁle.

Options

unget recognizes the following options and command-line arguments. Options and arguments apply

independently to each named ﬁle.

-r SID Uniquely identiﬁes which delta is no longer wanted (this would have been speciﬁed by

get as the ‘‘new delta’’). This option is necessary only if two or more outstanding

get

for editing on the same

SCCS ﬁle were done by the same person (login name).

unget

prints a diagnostic message if the speciﬁed SID is ambiguous, or if it is required but not

present on the command line (see sact (1)).

-s Silent option. Suppress printing the intended delta’s SID on the standard output.

-n Retain the ﬁle deposited in the current directory by the previous get. Normally this

ﬁle is removed by unget.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

LC_MESSAGES is not speciﬁed in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of

LANG is

used as a default for each unspeciﬁed or empty variable. If

LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty

string, a default of "C" (see lang (5)) is used instead of LANG.

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,

unget behaves as if all internationaliza-

tion variables are set to "C". See environ (5).

International Code Set Support

Single-byte and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

DIAGNOSTICS

Use sccshelp (1) for explanations.

WARNINGS

Only the user who did the corresponding

get -e can execute unget. Any other user must either use

su to change user ID to that user (see su(1)), or edit the p-ﬁle directly (which can be done either by the s-

ﬁle owner or a user who has appropriate privileges).
