NAME
     sb2sccs -  convert an SBCS file to an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     sb2sccs [-nsv] [-g sccs-get-cmd] sbcs-file sccs-file

DESCRIPTION
     sb2sccs converts an existing SBCS s-file (see nadmin(1))  to
     a new SCCS s-file.

     Version and history information is extracted from  the  SBCS
     s-file  and  used to create a new SCCS s-file.  The informa-
     tion that is preserved  includes  the  original  SID,  delta
     sequence number, date and time, author, list of MRs and com-
     ments for all deltas, actual and removed.  The file descrip-
     tive text, user list and flags are also preserved.

     Predecessor sequence numbers  reflect  the  underlying  dif-
     ferencing  implementation  and are in general not preserved.
     An application  should  not  rely  on  predecessor  sequence
     numbers.

     The SCCS line-count statistics for  deltas  is  regenerated,
     except for removed deltas.

     An attempt to convert an SBCS s-file  that  has  its  binary
     flag set (see nadmin(1)) will fail.

     sb2sccs generates an sh(1) and awk(1) script and  then  runs
     it.   It  is  possible to run the command to simply generate
     the intermediate script.

OPTIONS
     -n   Don't run the script. The intermediate executable sh(1)
          script   is  produced  and  preserved  under  the  name
          sb2sc.sh,  but  it  is  not  run.   sb2sccs  will   not
          overwrite an existing sb2sc.sh

     -s   Silent mode. Non-essential information is suppressed.

     -v   Verbose mode. Allow all SBCS and SCCS commands used  by
          the script to print their standard information to stan-
          dard out.

     -g sccs-get-cmd
          Full path to the SCCS get command. That  path  is  then
          also used for the SCCS admin, delta and prs commands.

FILES
     Temporary files are created in the  directory  specified  by
     one of the env variables TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP, or the sbcsenv
     variable tmpdir [= "/tmp"].  These files are removed  before

     the command finishes.

     The SBCS g-file is also created and cannot  pre-exist.   The
     SCCS  g-file,  p-file  and z-file are all created during the
     conversion. They are removed at the end of the conversion.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The SBCS nhelp command can be used to interpret warning  and
     error codes.

BUGS
     On some systems the  comments  or  other  text  strings  may
     exceed  awk's  line  length limits. The text will have to be
     shortened to allow the transformation to proceed.
