rcs_specs

Purpose:

Manage version control changes to specification files such as “inpt_specs.*” and other files which the user may modify. The changes are version controlled in either RCS or Subversion or both. At some point, the old RCS system will be removed and completely replaced by the Subversion system, but the “rcs_specs” app should remain in the go.scp.

Enter:

rcs_specs &

Where:

N/A

Example:

      child_adm &  
      evnt_adm 500 2 &
      rcs_specs &  
      evnt_watch  &  
      sys_start  
      error_mgr  3  10  0  /ram/error.log  19  &  
      units_init  
      keyword_init  
      gen_labels /specs/gen_labels.dflt &  

Notes:

If the “rcs_specs” process is running then specification file changes will be automatically archived when the translator program is run.

The files are archived in a sub-directory structure under /specs/RCS/ This sub-directory structure corresponds to the path where the original file is located. Thus, the file /specs/inpt_specs.100 would be archived in the /specs/RCS/specs/ directory, and the file /cell/logi_specs.100 would be archived in the /specs/RCS/cell/ directory.

Archived version of a file can be retrieved using the “getfile” command.
