Source Code Control System (SCCS)
ABSTRACT
The Source Code Control System (SCCS) was developed by AT&T as a system to control source code development. It includes features that help support a production development environment, including being able to help freeze released code, integrate into a problem-tracking system, and embed keywords into binary programs that can be viewed with the what command after the program is released.
SCCS sn’t just for programmers though. You can use SCCS for any text file, and it is especially handy when you need to maintain more than one version of a file or have to modify a file frequently and need a reliable way to recover or view previous versions. This sort of capability can be a lifesaver to system administrators for DNS or passwd files, Web developers for HTML and JavaScript code and even desktop publishers for PostScript, ghostscript and LaTeX files.
Most systems ship with SCCS, but a few do not include the sccs command that was introduced by BSD as a convenient interface to the SCCS system. It includes a version of the sccs command as available on the free source from BSD because it simplifies use of the SCCS system.
