NAME
       rcsmerge - merge RCS revisions

SYNOPSIS
       rcsmerge [options] file

OPTIONS
       Use subst style keyword substitution.  See co(1) for details. For exam‐
       ple, -kk -r1.1 -r1.2 ignores differences in keyword values when merging
       the  changes  from  1.1	to  1.2.   Send	 the result to standard output
       instead of overwriting the working file.	 Run  quietly;	do  not	 print
       diagnostics.   Merge  with  respect to revision rev.  Here an empty rev
       stands for the latest revision on  the  default	branch,	 normally  the
       head.   Emulate	RCS version n. See co(1) for details.  Use suffixes to
       characterize RCS files. See ci(1) for details.

DESCRIPTION
       rcsmerge incorporates the changes between two revisions of an RCS  file
       into the corresponding working file.

       Pathnames  matching  an	RCS suffix denote RCS files; all others denote
       working files. Names are paired as explained in ci(1).

       At least one revision  must  be	specified  with	 one  of  the  options
       described  below,  usually  -r. At most two revisions may be specified.
       If only one revision is specified, the latest revision on  the  default
       branch  (normally  the  highest branch on the trunk) is assumed for the
       second revision.	 Revisions may be specified  numerically  or  symboli‐
       cally.

       rcsmerge prints a warning if there are overlaps, and delimits the over‐
       lapping regions as explained in merge(1). The  command  is  useful  for
       incorporating changes into a checked-out revision.

EXAMPLES
       Suppose you have released revision 2.8 of f.c.  Assume furthermore that
       after you complete an unreleased revision 3.4, you receive  updates  to
       release	2.8  from someone else. To combine the updates to 2.8 and your
       changes between 2.8 and 3.4, put the updates to 2.8 into file  f.c  and
       execute rcsmerge -p -r2.8 -r3.4f.c >f.merged.c

       Then examine f.merged.c. Alternatively, if you want to save the updates
       to 2.8 in the RCS file, check them in as revision 2.8.1.1  and  execute
       co -j: ci -r2.8.1.1 f.c co -r3.4 -j2.8:2.8.1.1 f.c

       As  another  example,  the following command undoes the changes between
       revision 2.4 and 2.8 in your currently checked  out  revision  in  f.c.
       rcsmerge -r2.8 -r2.4 f.c

       Note the order of the arguments, and that f.c will be overwritten.

ENVIRONMENT
       options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.  See ci(1)
       for details.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is 0 for no overlaps, 1 for some overlaps, 2 for trouble.
