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.
