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.
