IDENT(1)                   OpenBSD Reference Manual                   IDENT(1)

NAME
     ident - identify RCS keyword strings in files

SYNOPSIS
     ident [-qV] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The ident program searches for the pattern $keyword:...$ from the files
     specified as argument (or standard input if none are given).  See the
     KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION section of rcs(1) for more information.

     The following options are supported:

     -q   Quiet mode: suppress warnings if no pattern found.

     -V   Display version information and exit.

     The ident utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     Given the following source code in file foo.c:

           #include <stdio.h>

           static char const rcsid[] =
                   "$Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $";

           int
           main(void) {
                   printf("%s\n", rcsid);
                   return (0);
           }

     Compile it and run ident:

           $ ident foo.c foo.o
           foo.c:
                $Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $
           foo.o:
                $Id: foo.c,v 1.2 2005/11/18 09:34:51 xsa Exp $
