NAME

       sact - print current SCCS file-editing activity (DEVELOPMENT)

SYNOPSIS

       sact file...

DESCRIPTION

       The  sact  utility  shall  inform the user of any impending deltas to a
       named SCCS file by writing a list to standard output.   This  situation
       occurs  when  get  -e has been executed previously without a subsequent
       execution of delta, unget, or sccs unedit.

OPTIONS

       None.

OPERANDS

       The following operand shall be supported:

       file   A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If file is a
              directory,  the sact utility shall behave as though each file in
              the directory were specified as a named file, except  that  non-
              SCCS  files  (last component of the pathname does not begin with
              s.) and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.

       If exactly one file operand appears, and it is ’-’ , the standard input
       shall be read; each line of the standard input shall be taken to be the
       name of an SCCS file to be processed.  Non-SCCS  files  and  unreadable
       files shall be silently ignored.

STDIN

       The standard input shall be a text file used only when the file operand
       is specified as ’-’ . Each line of the text file shall  be  interpreted
       as an SCCS pathname.

INPUT FILES

       Any SCCS files interrogated are files of an unspecified format.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of sact:

       LANG   Provide a default value for the  internationalization  variables
              that  are  unset  or  null.  (See the Base Definitions volume of
              IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,    Section    8.2,    Internationalization
              Variables  for  the precedence of internationalization variables
              used to determine the values of locale categories.)

       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values  of  all
              the other internationalization variables.

       LC_CTYPE
              Determine  the  locale  for  the  interpretation of sequences of
              bytes of text data as characters (for  example,  single-byte  as
              opposed  to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).

       LC_MESSAGES
              Determine the locale that should be used to  affect  the  format
              and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

       NLSPATH
              Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
              LC_MESSAGES .

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

       Default.

STDOUT

       The output for each named file shall consist of a line in the following
       format:

              "%s %s %s %s %s\n", <SID>, <new SID>, <login>, <date>, <time>

       <SID>  Specifies  the  SID of a delta that currently exists in the SCCS
              file to which changes are made to make the new delta.

       <new SID>
              Specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

       <login>
              Contains the login name of the user who makes  the  delta  (that
              is, who executed a get for editing).

       <date> Contains  the  date that get -e was executed, in the format used
              by the prs :D: data keyword.

       <time> Contains the time that get -e was executed, in the  format  used
              by the prs :T: data keyword.

       If  there  is  more  than  one named file or if a directory or standard
       input is named, each pathname shall  be  written  before  each  of  the
       preceding lines:

              "\n%s:\n", <pathname>

STDERR

       The standard error shall be used only for optional informative messages
       concerning SCCS files with no  impending  deltas,  and  for  diagnostic
       messages.

OUTPUT FILES

       None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       None.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values shall be returned:

        0     Successful completion.

       >0     An error occurred.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

       Default.
