NAME
bk xflags − check or fix BitKeeper flags

SYNOPSIS
bk xflags
[−ns] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
bk xflags
is an administrative command used to check and/or fix BitKeeper flags. These flags control things such as what sort of keywords are expanded.

This command should not be typically needed, it exists to fix older repositories which did not properly maintain these flags. If bk check yields output like

src/utils/Makefile@@1.12 should have EXPAND1 flag
src/utils/README@@1.3 should have SCCS flag
src/DOCS: missing required flag[s]: BITKEEPER

bk xflags needs to be run.

With no options, bk xflags will fix the flags in all of the specified files. To fix all files, run

bk -A xflags

OPTIONS
−n
Do not change any files, just list any problems found.
−s
