slist
SYNOPSIS
slist [ -h ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Slist prints the names and revision numbers of the files
given as arguments.
The -h option prints the revision number of the latest file
in the trunk, thus an slist of the head (frontier) of the
RCS tree is printed. This is useful for comparing against
the output of slist from an executable to check that the
latest revisions were indeed used.
If the -h option is not used then the file name arguments
need be working or executable file names containing valid
Header identifiers.
EXAMPLES
Create an slist from an executable:
% slist executable >executable.slist
Compare the working files against the latest revisions:
% slist -h RCS/*.c,v >latest.slist
% slist *.c | diff - latest.slist
DIAGNOSTICS
Complaints from ident for files not containing identifiers.
Complaints from rlog about non-existing RCS files.

BUGS
Depends a lot on the format of the rlog and ident output.
If a file contains no header keyword, but contains other
keywords no entry will be generated for that file, unless -h
is used.
