SACT(1)                              SysV                              SACT(1)



NAME
     sact - print current SCCS file editing activity

SYNOPSIS
     sact files

DESCRIPTION
     The sact command informs you of any impending deltas to a named SCCS
     file.  This situation occurs when get(1) with the -e option has been
     previously executed without a subsequent execution of delta(1).  If a
     directory is named on the command line, sact 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 you specify a simple
     dash (-) in place of a filename, sact reads the standard input, taking
     each line as the name of an SCCS file to be processed.

     The output for each named file consists of five fields separated by
     spaces:

          Field 1     Specifies the SID of a delta that currently exists in
                      the SCCS file to which changes will be made to make the
                      new delta.

          Field 2     Specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

          Field 3     Contains the logname of the user who will make the delta
                      (i.e., executed a get for editing).

          Field 4     Contains the date that get -e was executed.

          Field 5     Contains the time that get -e was executed.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Use help(1) for explanations.
