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, verifying 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 recommended).
−fflag set a per file flag. Many of the
flags may be set automatically upon file creation by adding
an entry to the BitKeeper/etc/config file. See bk
help config-etc for information 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.)
−Fflag
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.
−ycomment make comment be the
checkin comment for the initial checkin (only valid with
−i).
−z recalculate file checksum.
−Zalg 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.
