unget -- undo a previous get of an SCCS file

Syntax

unget [-rSID] [-s] [-n] files

Description

The unget command undoes the effect of a get -e done prior to creating the intended new delta. If a directory is named, unget behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of ``-'' is given, standard input is read with each line being taken as the name of an SCCS file to be processed.

Arguments apply independently to each named file.


-rSID
Uniquely identifies which delta is no longer intended. (This would have been specified by get as the new delta.) The use of this option is necessary only if two or more outstanding gets for editing on the same SCCS file were done by the same person (login name). A diagnostic results if the specified SID is ambiguous, or if it is necessary and omitted on the command line.

-s
Suppresses printout, on standard output, of the intended delta's SID.

-n
Causes the retention of the gotten file which would normally be removed from the current directory.
