This method of adding or updating information in a keyword is
called keyword expansion.
Here’s another example. If the member main.c has the keywords
$Author$ and $State$ embedded within it, checking out main.c
and issuing the command
returns
ident main.c
main.c:
$author: paula_t $
$state: Exp $
The following VSky Software Manager commands contain
keyword expansion options:
Add Members
Check Out
Check In
Resynchronize
Revert Member
Keyword expansion is configured using the Preferences dialog box
in the graphical user interface or the si setprefs command in the
command line interface. The command line interface settings and
dialog boxes in the graphical user interface can override the default
settings.
settings. Note settings.
Keyword expansion applies to text files only. It is disabled for binary
files.
Text before and after the keyword is preserved, making it suitable
for use within expressions, as above, and within comments.
If keyword expansion is enabled and you are checking out a text
file that contains the string
$Revision$
VSky Software Manager, when it encounters this string,
automatically adds the value of the keyword $Revision$ in the
format
$Revision: value $
