NAME
ident - identify files
SYNOPSIS
ident [-q] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
ident searches for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$ in the
named files or, if no file name appears, the standard input.
These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command
co(1), but can also be inserted manually. The option -q suppresses the
warning given if there are no patterns in a file.
ident works on text files as well as object files and dumps. For exam-
ple, if the C program in f.c contains
char rcsid[] = "$Id: ident.1,v 1.1.8.2 1998/06/01 20:20:00 Sally_Gero
Exp $";
and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
ident f.c f.o
will output
f.c:
$Id: ident.1,v 1.1.8.2 1998/06/01 20:20:00 Sally_Gero Exp $ f.o:
$Id: ident.1,v 1.1.8.2 1998/06/01 20:20:00 Sally_Gero Exp $
