3.8.3.1 Global Keywords

These keywords expand to the same thing, no matter which version is being examined. Many of these are SCCS file flags (see section 3.1.1 Flags).

:BD:
Emits the body of the SCCS file, that is, the part containing all the delta information. Note that since this is dumped verbatim, it contains control characters. If you want a more readable format, consider using the `-b' option of prt (see section 3.9.2 Options for prt).

:BF:
Indicates the setting (`yes' or `no') of the branch flag.

:CB:
Indicates the value of the release number ceiling flag.

:Ds:
The default SID to check out (See 3.1.1 Flags and 3.5 get).

:F:
Name of the SCCS file.

:FB:
Indicates the value of the release floor boundary flag.

:FD:
File descriptive text (see section 3.1 admin).

:FL:
List of SCCS file flags.

:J:
Value (`yes' or `no') of the joint-edit flag.

:KF:
Value (`yes' or `no') of the keyword-warning flag (see section 3.1 admin).

:LK:
Value of the locked-releases flag.

:M:
The module name (the value of the `m' flag).

:MF:
The value (`yes' or `no') of the MR validation flag (see section 3.4 delta).

:MP:
The value of the MR validation program flag (see section 3.4 delta). This is usually the name of an executable file.

:ND:
The value of the null-delta (`n') flag (`yes' or `no').

:Q:
The value of the (user-defined) Q flag (arbitrary one-line text).

:PN:
The full path name of the SCCS file.

:UN:
List of users authorised to make deltas to this file (one per line). This list can be modified with the use of the options `-a' and `-e' of admin; if this list is empty, any user is allowed to use delta on this file (subject to the usual file permissions checks made by the operating system). However, in this case the `UN' data keyword somewhat curiously expands to `none'.

:Y:
Value of the module-type flag.

The `:BD:', `:FD:', `:FL:' and `:UN:' keywords from this section may expand to strings containing newlines.
