Program called cvs (it's on your computer) manages storing software in a project, with history, and the ability to merge in changes that come from many developers. It's one of a class of programs that are called version control software, or maybe source code control software (see the cvs man page). Anyhow, when cvs manages storing a file, it looks at the file and can be made to expand certain strings with predefined strings. One of those is $Id$, which is expanded like you see above to include the file name, the username of the person committing it, and the time and version number. There are others also, take a look at the man page. There are many other source code control systems too, some free, some commercial. Very good thing for someone doing software to know. > > Thanks, > > > > *--------------Jose Monteiro <jm@pluriproj.pt>--------------* > | Pluriproj - Redes e Sistemas de Comunicacoes Lda. | > | Agente IP em Leiria http://www.pluriproj.pt | > *.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·* > | Tel: +351 44 8182063 Fax: +351 44 8182061 | > | Finger me or search key servers for my PGP public key | > *-----------------------------------------------------------* > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
