.SH NAME
co \- check out RCS revisions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B co
.RI [ options ] " file " .\|.\|.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B co
retrieves a revision from each \*r file and stores it into
the corresponding working file.
.PP
Pathnames matching an \*r suffix denote \*r files;
all others denote working files.
Names are paired as explained in
.BR ci (1).
.PP
Revisions of an \*r file may be checked out locked or unlocked.  Locking a
revision prevents overlapping updates.  A revision checked out for reading or
processing (e.g., compiling) need not be locked.  A revision checked out
for editing and later checkin must normally be locked.  Checkout with locking
fails if the revision to be checked out is currently locked by another user.
(A lock may be broken with
.BR rcs "(1).)\ \&"
Checkout with locking also requires the caller to be on the access list of
the \*r file, unless he is the owner of the
file or the superuser, or the access list is empty.
Checkout without locking is not subject to accesslist restrictions, and is
not affected by the presence of locks.
.PP
A revision is selected by options for revision or branch number,
checkin date/time, author, or state.
When the selection options
are applied in combination,
.B co
retrieves the latest revision
that satisfies all of them.
If none of the selection options
is specified,
.B co
retrieves the latest revision
on the default branch (normally the trunk, see the
.B \-b
option of
.BR rcs (1)).
A revision or branch number may be attached
to any of the options
.BR \-f ,
.BR \-I ,
.BR \-l ,
.BR \-M ,
.BR \-p ,
.BR \-q ,
.BR \-r ,
or
.BR \-u .
The options
.B \-d
(date),
.B \-s
(state), and
.B \-w
(author)
retrieve from a single branch, the
.I selected
branch,
which is either specified by one of
.BR \-f,
\&.\|.\|.,
.BR \-u ,
or the default branch.
.PP
A
.B co
command applied to an \*r
file with no revisions creates a zero-length working file.
.B co
always performs keyword substitution (see below).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-r [\f2rev\fP]
retrieves the latest revision whose number is less than or equal to
.I rev.
If
.I rev
indicates a branch rather than a revision,
the latest revision on that branch is retrieved.
If
.I rev
is omitted, the latest revision on the default branch
(see the
.B \-b
option of
.BR rcs (1))
is retrieved.
If
.I rev
is
.BR $ ,
.B co
determines the revision number from keyword values in the working file.
Otherwise, a revision is composed of one or more numeric or symbolic fields
separated by periods.  The numeric equivalent of a symbolic field
is specified with the
.B \-n
option of the commands
.BR ci (1)
and
.BR rcs (1).
.TP
.BR \-l [\f2rev\fP]
same as
.BR \-r ,
except that it also locks the retrieved revision for
the caller.
.TP
.BR \-u [\f2rev\fP]
same as
.BR \-r ,
except that it unlocks the retrieved revision if it was
locked by the caller.  If
.I rev
is omitted,
.B \-u
retrieves the revision locked by the caller, if there is one; otherwise,
it retrieves the latest revision on the default branch.
.TP
.BR \-f [\f2rev\fP]
forces the overwriting of the working file;
useful in connection with
.BR \-q .
See also
.SM "FILE MODES"
below.
.TP
.B \-kkv
Generate keyword strings using the default form, e.g.\&
.B "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $"
for the
.B Revision
keyword.
A locker's name is inserted in the value of the
.BR Header ,
.BR Id ,
and
.B Locker
keyword strings
only as a file is being locked,
i.e. by
.B "ci\ \-l"
and
.BR "co\ \-l".
This is the default.
.TP
.B \-kkvl
Like
.BR \-kkv ,
except that a locker's name is always inserted
if the given revision is currently locked.
.TP
.BR \-kk
Generate only keyword names in keyword strings; omit their values.
See
.SM "KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION"
below.
For example, for the
.B Revision
keyword, generate the string
.B $\&Revision$
instead of
.BR "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $".
This option is useful to ignore differences due to keyword substitution
when comparing different revisions of a file.
.TP
.BR \-ko
Generate the old keyword string,
present in the working file just before it was checked in.
For example, for the
.B Revision
keyword, generate the string
.B "$\&Revision: 1.1 $"
instead of
.B "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $"
if that is how the string appeared when the file was checked in.
This can be useful for binary file formats
that cannot tolerate any changes to substrings
that happen to take the form of keyword strings.
.TP
.BR \-kv
Generate only keyword values for keyword strings.
For example, for the
.B Revision
keyword, generate the string
.B \*(Rv
instead of
.BR "$\&Revision: \*(Rv $".
This can help generate files in programming languages where it is hard to
strip keyword delimiters like
.B "$\&Revision:\ $"
from a string.
However, further keyword substitution cannot be performed once the
keyword names are removed, so this option should be used with care.
Because of this danger of losing keywords,
this option cannot be combined with
.BR \-l ,
and the owner write permission of the working file is turned off;
to edit the file later, check it out again without
.BR \-kv .
.TP
.BR \-p [\f2rev\fP]
prints the retrieved revision on the standard output rather than storing it
in the working file.
This option is useful when
.B co
is part of a pipe.
.TP
.BR \-q [\f2rev\fP]
quiet mode; diagnostics are not printed.
.TP
.BR \-I [\f2rev\fP]
interactive mode;
the user is prompted and questioned
even if the standard input is not a terminal.
.TP
.BI \-d date
retrieves the latest revision on the selected branch whose checkin date/time is
less than or equal to
.I date.
The date and time may be given in free format.
The time zone
.B LT
stands for local time;
other common time zone names are understood.
For example, the following
.IR date s
are equivalent
if local time is January 11, 1990, 8pm Pacific Standard Time,
eight hours west of Coordinated Universal Time (\*g):

Most fields in the date and time may be defaulted.
The default time zone is \*g.
The other defaults are determined in the order year, month, day,
hour, minute, and second (most to least significant).  At least one of these
fields must be provided.  For omitted fields that are of higher significance
than the highest provided field, the time zone's current values are assumed.
For all other omitted fields,
the lowest possible values are assumed.
For example, the date
.B "20, 10:30"
defaults to
10:30:00 \*g of the 20th of the \*g time zone's current month and year.
The date/time must be quoted if it contains spaces.
.RE
.TP
.BR \-M [\f2rev\fP]
Set the modification time on the new working file
to be the date of the retrieved revision.
Use this option with care; it can confuse
.BR make (1).
.TP
.BI \-s state
retrieves the latest revision on the selected branch whose state is set to
.I state.
.TP
.BR \-w [\f2login\fP]
retrieves the latest revision on the selected branch which was checked in
by the user with login name
.I login.
If the argument
.I login
is
omitted, the caller's login is assumed.
.TP
.BI \-j joinlist
generates a new revision which is the join of the revisions on
.I joinlist.
This option is largely obsoleted by
.BR rcsmerge (1)
but is retained for backwards compatibility.
.RS
.PP
The
.I joinlist
is a comma-separated list of pairs of the form
.IB rev2 : rev3,
where
.I rev2
and
.I rev3
are (symbolic or numeric)
revision numbers.
For the initial such pair,
.I rev1
denotes the revision selected
by the above options
.BR \-f,
\&.\|.\|.,
.BR \-w .
For all other pairs,
.I rev1
denotes the revision generated by the previous pair.
(Thus, the output
of one join becomes the input to the next.)
.PP
For each pair,
.B co
joins revisions
.I rev1
and
.I rev3
with respect to
.I rev2.
This means that all changes that transform
.I rev2
into
.I rev1
are applied to a copy of
.I rev3.
This is particularly useful if
.I rev1
and
.I rev3
are the ends of two branches that have
.I rev2
as a common ancestor.  If
.IR rev1 < rev2 < rev3
on the same branch,
joining generates a new revision which is like
.I rev3,
but with all changes that lead from
.I rev1
to
.I rev2
undone.
If changes from
.I rev2
to
.I rev1
overlap with changes from
.I rev2
to
.I rev3,
.B co
reports overlaps as described in
.BR merge (1).
.PP
For the initial pair,
.I rev2
may be omitted.  The default is the common
ancestor.
If any of the arguments indicate branches, the latest revisions
on those branches are assumed.
The options
.B \-l
and
.B \-u
lock or unlock
.I rev1.
.RE
.TP
.BI \-V n
Emulate \*r version
.I n,
where
.I n
may be
.BR 3 ,
.BR 4 ,
or
.BR 5 .
This may be useful when interchanging \*r files with others who are
running older versions of \*r.
To see which version of \*r your correspondents are running, have them invoke
.B rlog
on an \*r file;
if none of the first few lines of output contain the string
.B branch:
it is version 3;
if the dates' years have just two digits, it is version 4;
otherwise, it is version 5.
An \*r file generated while emulating version 3 will lose its default branch.
An \*r revision generated while emulating version 4 or earlier will have
a timestamp that is off by up to 13 hours.
A revision extracted while emulating version 4 or earlier will contain
dates of the form
.IB yy / mm / dd
instead of
.IB yyyy / mm / dd
and may also contain different white space in the substitution for
.BR $\&Log$ .
.TP
.BI \-x "suffixes"
Use
.I suffixes
to characterize \*r files.
See
.BR ci (1)
for details.
.SH "KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION"
Strings of the form
.BI $ keyword $
and
.BI $ keyword : .\|.\|. $
embedded in
the text are replaced
with strings of the form
.BI $ keyword : value $
where
.I keyword
and
.I value
are pairs listed below.
Keywords may be embedded in literal strings
or comments to identify a revision.
.PP
Initially, the user enters strings of the form
.BI $ keyword $ .
On checkout,
.B co
replaces these strings with strings of the form
.BI $ keyword : value $ .
If a revision containing strings of the latter form
is checked back in, the value fields will be replaced during the next
checkout.
Thus, the keyword values are automatically updated on checkout.
This automatic substitution can be modified by the
.B \-k
options.
.PP
Keywords and their corresponding values:
.TP
.B $\&Author$
The login name of the user who checked in the revision.
.TP
.B $\&Date$
The date and time (\*g) the revision was checked in.
.TP
.B $\&Header$
A standard header containing the full pathname of the \*r file, the
revision number, the date (\*g), the author, the state,
and the locker (if locked).
.TP
.B $\&Id$
Same as
.BR $\&Header$ ,
except that the \*r filename is without a path.
.TP
.B $\&Locker$
The login name of the user who locked the revision (empty if not locked).
.TP
.B $\&Log$
The log message supplied during checkin, preceded by a header
containing the \*r filename, the revision number, the author, and the date
(\*g).
Existing log messages are
.I not
replaced.
Instead, the new log message is inserted after
.BR $\&Log: .\|.\|. $ .
This is useful for
accumulating a complete change log in a source file.
.TP
.B $\&RCSfile$
The name of the \*r file without a path.
.TP
.B $\&Revision$
The revision number assigned to the revision.
.TP
.B $\&Source$
The full pathname of the \*r file.
.TP
.B $\&State$
The state assigned to the revision with the
.B \-s
option of
.BR rcs (1)
or
.BR ci (1).
.SH "FILE MODES"
The working file inherits the read and execute permissions from the \*r
file.  In addition, the owner write permission is turned on, unless
.B \-kv
is set or the file
is checked out unlocked and locking is set to strict (see
.BR rcs (1)).
.PP
If a file with the name of the working file exists already and has write
permission,
.B co
aborts the checkout,
asking beforehand if possible.
If the existing working file is
not writable or
.B \-f
is given, the working file is deleted without asking.
.SH FILES
.B co
accesses files much as
.BR ci (1)
does, except that it does not need to read the working file.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B \s-1RCSINIT\s0
options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.
See
.BR ci (1)
for details.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
The \*r pathname, the working pathname,
and the revision number retrieved are
written to the diagnostic output.
The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful.
