NAME
bk keywords − list of RCS and SCCS keywords

DESCRIPTION
BitKeeper supports both the standard SCCS keywords, as well as most of the RCS keywords. In addition, there are several keywords that are unique to BitKeeper.

Note: All of the revision-oriented keywords (e.g. %I%) are useless in BitKeeper since they may change as a result of a re-synchronization that causes a branch creation. Use the %K% keyword when you need an identifier that is unique to a specific revision-level of a file. The %K% keyword is useful when tracking customer bugs. For example, a technician might ask the end-user to run the what command on an executable to check the versions of the components that make up a program. The person doing troubleshooting can then use the %K% keyword to track down the specific source files that make up the executable.

Note: SCCS keyword expansion can cause problems in printf-like strings. To deal with unwanted keyword expansion, BitKeeper can be given options to expand only the first keyword found. See bk help admin.
