Tracking versions with SCCS

Inserting commentary for the initial delta

When an SCCS file is created, the user may want to record why this was done. Comments (admin -y) and/or MR numbers (-m) can be entered in exactly the same way as with delta.

If -y is omitted, a comment line of the form

   date and time created YY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS by logname
is automatically generated.

If it is desired to supply MR numbers (admin -m), the v flag must be set with -f. The v flag simply determines whether MR numbers must be supplied when using any SCCS command that modifies a delta commentary in the SCCS file (see sccsfile(4)). An example would be

   $ admin -ifirst -mmrnum1 -fv s.abc
Note that -y and -m are effective only if a new SCCS file is being created.
