delta

delta [options] files

Incorporate changes (add a delta) to one or more SCCS files. delta stores changes made to a text file retrieved by get -e and then edited. delta normally removes the text file.

Options

-d

Use diff instead of bdiff to find the changes. Solaris only.

-glist

Ignore deltas whose SCCS IDs (version numbers) are specified in the comma-separated list. Use - to supply a range; e.g., 1.3,2.1-2.5.

-m[list]

Supply a list of modification request numbers as reasons for creating new deltas. -m is useful only when admin has set the v flag for file. If -m is omitted, the terminal displays MRs? as an input prompt.

-n

Do not remove the edited file (extracted by get -e) after execution of delta.

-p

Print a diff-style listing of delta changes to file.

-rSID

Delta version number that identifies file. -r is needed only when more than one version of an SCCS file is being edited simultaneously.

-s

Suppress printing of new SID and other delta information.

-y[string]

Insert string as a comment describing why the delta was made. If -y is omitted, the terminal displays comments? as an input prompt.
