Using Basic Command-line Interface

Top Previous Next

The basic command-line interface has been designed to enable the integration of CS-RCS with development tools such as Borland Delphi and programmer's editors.

The basic command-line interface syntax is:

CSRCS command "file-path".

The following are the basic command-line interface commands:

Create – To add a new file to the RCS Repository.

CheckOut – To check-out a working copy.

CheckIn – To check-in a modified file, or to add a new file to the RCS Repository.

Status – To inspect the RCS status of a file.

History – To trace the revisions of a file.

Help – To get on-line help.

For example, to check-in a modified file, C:\Project1\Src\test.c, to the RCS Repository:

From the Start menu, click Run.

Enter: CSRCS CheckIn "C:\Project1\Src\test.c".

Click OK.
