A unique symbolic name (\c 22.BI C_ number, 23where 24.I number 25is increased each time 26.B rcsfreeze 27is run) is then assigned to the most 28recent revision of each \*r file of the main trunk. 29.PP 30An optional 31.I name 32argument to 33.B rcsfreeze 34gives a symbolic name to the configuration. 35The unique identifier is still generated 36and is listed in the log file but it will not appear as 37part of the symbolic revision name in the actual \*r files. 38.PP 39A log message is requested from the user for future reference. 40.PP 41The shell script works only on all \*r files at one time. 42All changed files must be checked in already. 43Run 44.IR rcsclean (1) 45first and see whether any sources remain in the current directory. 46.SH FILES 47.TP 48.B RCS/.rcsfreeze.ver 49version number 50.TP 51.B RCS/.rcsfreeze.log 52log messages, most recent first 53.SH AUTHOR 54Stephan v. Bechtolsheim 55.SH "SEE ALSO" 56co(1), rcs(1), rcsclean(1), rlog(1) 57.SH BUGS 58.B rcsfreeze 59does not check whether any sources are checked out and modified. 60.PP 61Although both source file names and RCS file names are accepted, 62they are not paired as usual with RCS commands. 63.PP 64Error checking is rudimentary. 65.PP 66.B rcsfreeze 67is just an optional example shell script, and should not be taken too seriously. 68See \s-1CVS\s0 for a more complete solution. 69
