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.

EXIT STATUS
     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 $
