1174.0. "ident strings" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Thu Dec 22 1994 16:51

Subj: 	ident strings

I would like to update the ident stings for a bunch of LSM files
but I am not sure of the exact syntax.  Could you send me a copy
of the string I am supposed to use?  The default one, '$Id$' expands
to "$Id: filename,v 1.1 1994/12/22 20:20:18 schloss Exp $" while a
typical kernel file will have something more like : "@(#)$RCSfile: \
filename,v $ $Revision: 4.2.9.4 $ (DEC) $Date: 1994/03/28 06:19:32 $"

I can make a guess at "@(#)$RCSfile$ $Revision$ (DEC) $Date$" but
I wonder if we are supposed to use some magic cookie like $DEC$ or
something like that.

Mike, if you look in /usr/sde/osf1/headers  - you'll see the following
format:
	@(#)$RCSfile$ $Revision$ (DEC) $Date$

exactly like you thought.  Note that it's best not to use $Id$ since
that gives customers private usernames.

thanks...			-josh
