NAME
bk admin - administer BitKeeper files
SYNOPSIS
bk admin options [<file> ... | -]
DESCRIPTION
The bk admin command is used to administer BitKeeper files. There are
options for changing per file features, modifying file metadata, veri-
fying file checksum and metadata, changing the file compression mode,
and/or recalculating the file checksum.
OPTIONS
-C[<id>] set or remove the changeset file string in the 1.0 delta
(very rarely used, not recommended). The string is used to
associate the file with a particular repository idea and
usually the same as the output of bk id.
-D remove the delta changeset marks (rarely used--not recom-
mended).
-f<flag> set a per file flag. Many of the flags may be set automat-
ically upon file creation by adding an entry to the Bit-
mation on how to do so. The possible values for <flag>
are:
BITKEEPER mark the file as a BitKeeper file (very rarely
used, not recommended)
EOLN_NATIVE use the operating system's native end-of-line
termination (i.e., \r\n on Windows and \n on
all other platforms.) EOLN_NATIVE is set to
"on" by default.
EOLN_UNIX use the UNIX end-of-line termination (i.e.,
\n) on all platforms.
EOLN_WINDOWS use the Windows end-of-line termination (i.e.,
\r\n) on all platforms.
EXPAND1 expand keywords in first line that contains
keywords only (printf conflicts) (May be set
in BitKeeper/etc/config).
NOMERGE do not attempt to automerge this file; treat
it as if it were a binary file and always
force a choice between the local and remote
versions of the file.
RCS expand RCS keywords, i.e., $keyword$ etc.
(May be set in BitKeeper/etc/config).
SCCS expand SCCS keywords, i.e., %K% etc. (Setting
this in BitKeeper/etc/config applies this
behavior to all subsequently created files; it
does not affect existing files! You must use
bk admin to explicitly on existing files.)
-F<flag> delete flag <flag>, reverting to default behavior.
-h check s.file structure in general, but limited to ATT SCCS
features.
-hh as above, but also check BitKeeper specific (in addition to
ATT SCCS) features.
-hhh as above, but also check time stamps.
-i[<file>] read initial text from <file> (default stdin).
-q run quietly.
-y<comment> make <comment> be the checkin comment for the initial
checkin (only valid with -i).
-z recalculate file checksum.
-Z<alg> compress stored s.file with <alg>. Compression is on by
default because the space savings are substantial and there
is little or no performance difference. The default may be
set in BitKeeper/etc/config. <alg> may be:
gzip like gzip(1)
none no compression
BUGS
This command does way too much and is likely to be split
apart. Do not depend on these options for scripts.
