     Name
          sact - print current SCCS file editing activity

     Syntax
          sact files

     Description
          The sact command informs the user of any impending deltas to
          a named SCCS file.  This situation occurs when get(CP) with
          the -e option has been previously executed without a
          subsequent execution of delta(CP).  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 a
          name of - is given, the standard input is read with each
          line being taken 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.
