Two commands provide information about RCS files:

ident

rlog

Display a summary (log) about the revisions in an RCS file.


You can compare RCS files with these commands:

merge

Incorporate changes from two files into a third file.

rcsdiff

Report differences between revisions.

rcsmerge

The following commands help with configuration management. However, they are considered optional, so they are not always installed:

rcsclean
