Using the $Revision$ keyword to obtain the revision number of a file is
one of the common applications of keywords. Other common applications
include:
The $Header$ keyword provides a one-line summary of useful
information associated with a revision. Including this information in a
comment makes the information available to anyone looking at the
member.
The $Log$ keyword supplies the same sort of information as
$Header$ plus the revision description. The $Log$ keyword provides
a complete list of changes that have been made to the member over
time.
NOTE
The keyword format of $$ causes Source Integrity to replace
between the first $ and the next $. If you use a keyword in the format
$, Source Integrity continues to replace until it encounters another
$. It is possible that Source Integrity may not encounter another $ until the file
is checked out again. This type of keyword use returns results that are similar
to logging.
You can use the ident command in the command line interface to locate
and display keywords (expanded or unexpanded) in one or more
members. For more information about the ident command, see the
Source Integrity Enterprise Edition CLI Reference Guide or the online man
pages.
This command displays the name of each member that contains keywords,
as well as the keywords themselves. This provides an easy way to extract
identification information from source files, as well as compiled object
files.
Source Integrity maintains several keywords that can be used in working
files. Keywords are case-sensitive.
Your administrator may create custom keywords. For information on
using custom keywords contact your administrator.
