+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIadmin\fP utility shall create new SCCS files or change parameters
+of existing ones. If a named file does not exist, it
+shall be created, and its parameters shall be initialized according
+to the specified options. Parameters not initialized by an
+option shall be assigned a default value. If a named file does exist,
+parameters corresponding to specified options shall be
+changed, and other parameters shall be left as is.
+.LP
+All SCCS filenames supplied by the application shall be of the form
+s.\fIfilename\fP. New SCCS files shall be given read-only
+permission mode. Write permission in the parent directory is required
+to create a file. All writing done by \fIadmin\fP shall be
+to a temporary \fIx-file\fP, named x.\fIfilename\fP (see \fIget\fP
+) created with read-only mode if
+\fIadmin\fP is creating a new SCCS file, or created with the same
+mode as that of the SCCS file if the file already exists. After
+successful execution of \fIadmin\fP, the SCCS file shall be removed
+(if it exists), and the \fIx-file\fP shall be renamed with
+the name of the SCCS file. This ensures that changes are made to the
+SCCS file only if no errors occur.
+.LP
+The \fIadmin\fP utility shall also use a transient lock file (named
+z.\fIfilename\fP), which is used to prevent simultaneous
+updates to the SCCS file; see \fIget\fP .
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+The \fIadmin\fP utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume
+of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines,
+except that the \fB-i\fP, \fB-t\fP, and
+\fB-y\fP options have optional option-arguments. These optional option-arguments
+shall not be presented as separate arguments. The
+following options are supported:
+.TP 7
+\fB-n\fP
+Create a new SCCS file. When \fB-n\fP is used without \fB-i\fP, the
+SCCS file shall be created with control information but
+without any file data.
+.TP 7
+\fB-i[\fP\fIname\fP\fB]\fP
+Specify the \fIname\fP of a file from which the text for a new SCCS
+file shall be taken. The text constitutes the first delta
+of the file (see the \fB-r\fP option for the delta numbering scheme).
+If the \fB-i\fP option is used, but the \fIname\fP
+option-argument is omitted, the text shall be obtained by reading
+the standard input. If this option is omitted, the SCCS file
+shall be created with control information but without any file data.
+The \fB-i\fP option implies the \fB-n\fP option.
+.TP 7
+\fB-r\ \fP \fISID\fP
+Specify the SID of the initial delta to be inserted. This SID shall
+be a trunk SID; that is, the branch and sequence numbers
+shall be zero or missing. The level number is optional, and defaults
+to 1.
+.TP 7
+\fB-t[\fP\fIname\fP\fB]\fP
+Specify the \fIname\fP of a file from which descriptive text for the
+SCCS file shall be taken. In the case of existing SCCS
+files (neither \fB-i\fP nor \fB-n\fP is specified):
+.RS
+.IP " *" 3
+A \fB-t\fP option without a \fIname\fP option-argument shall cause
+the removal of descriptive text (if any) currently in the
+SCCS file.
+.LP
+.IP " *" 3
+A \fB-t\fP option with a \fIname\fP option-argument shall cause the
+text (if any) in the named file to replace the descriptive
+text (if any) currently in the SCCS file.
+.LP
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fB-f\ \fP \fIflag\fP
+Specify a \fIflag\fP, and, possibly, a value for the \fIflag\fP, to
+be placed in the SCCS file. Several \fB-f\fP options may
+be supplied on a single \fIadmin\fP command line. Implementations
+shall recognize the following flags and associated values:
+.TP 7
+\fBb\fP
+.RS
+Allow use of the \fB-b\fP option on a \fIget\fP command to create
+branch deltas.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBc\fP\fIceil\fP
+.RS
+Specify the highest release (that is, ceiling), a number less than
+or equal to 9999, which may be retrieved by a \fIget\fP command for
+editing. The default value for an unspecified \fBc\fP flag shall be
+9999.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBf\fP\fIfloor\fP
+.RS
+Specify the lowest release (that is, floor), a number greater than
+0 but less than 9999, which may be retrieved by a \fIget\fP command
+for editing. The default value for an unspecified \fBf\fP flag shall
+be 1.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBd\fP\fISID\fP
+.RS
+Specify the default delta number (SID) to be used by a \fIget\fP command.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBi\fP\fIstr\fP
+.RS
+Treat the "No ID keywords" message issued by \fIget\fP or \fIdelta\fP
+as a fatal error. In the absence of this flag, the message is only
+a warning. The
+message is issued if no SCCS identification keywords (see \fIget\fP
+) are found in the text retrieved or
+stored in the SCCS file. If a value is supplied, the application shall
+ensure that the keywords exactly match the given string;
+however, the string shall contain a keyword, and no embedded <newline>s.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBj\fP
+.RS
+Allow concurrent \fIget\fP commands for editing on the same SID of
+an SCCS file. This
+allows multiple concurrent updates to the same version of the SCCS
+file.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBl\fP\fIlist\fP
+.RS
+Specify a \fIlist\fP of releases to which deltas can no longer be
+made (that is, \fIget\fP \fB-e\fP against one of these locked releases
+fails). Conforming applications shall use the
+following syntax to specify a \fIlist\fP. Implementations may accept
+additional forms as an extension:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fB<list> ::= a | <range-list>
+<range-list> ::= <range> | <range-list>, <range>
+<range> ::= <SID>
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+The character \fIa\fP in the \fIlist\fP shall be equivalent to specifying
+all releases for the named SCCS file. The
+non-terminal <\fISID\fP> in range shall be the delta number of an
+existing delta associated with the SCCS file.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBn\fP
+.RS
+Cause \fIdelta\fP to create a null delta in each of those releases
+(if any) being
+skipped when a delta is made in a new release (for example, in making
+delta 5.1 after delta 2.7, releases 3 and 4 are skipped).
+These null deltas shall serve as anchor points so that branch deltas
+may later be created from them. The absence of this flag shall
+cause skipped releases to be nonexistent in the SCCS file, preventing
+branch deltas from being created from them in the future.
+During the initial creation of an SCCS file, the \fBn\fP flag may
+be ignored; that is, if the \fB-r\fP option is used to set the
+release number of the initial SID to a value greater than 1, null
+deltas need not be created for the "skipped" releases.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBq\fP\fItext\fP
+.RS
+Substitute user-definable \fItext\fP for all occurrences of the %\fBQ\fP%
+keyword in the SCCS file text retrieved by \fIget\fP.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBm\fP\fImod\fP
+.RS
+Specify the module name of the SCCS file substituted for all occurrences
+of the %\fBM\fP% keyword in the SCCS file text
+retrieved by \fIget\fP. If the \fBm\fP flag is not specified, the
+value assigned shall be the
+name of the SCCS file with the leading \fB'.'\fP removed.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBt\fP\fItype\fP
+.RS
+Specify the \fItype\fP of module in the SCCS file substituted for
+all occurrences of the %\fBY\fP% keyword in the SCCS file
+text retrieved by \fIget\fP.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+\fBv\fP\fIpgm\fP
+.RS
+Cause \fIdelta\fP to prompt for modification request (MR) numbers
+as the reason for
+creating a delta. The optional value specifies the name of an MR number
+validation program. (If this flag is set when creating an
+SCCS file, the application shall ensure that the \fBm\fP option is
+also used even if its value is null.)
+.RE
+.sp
+.TP 7
+\fB-d\ \fP \fIflag\fP
+Remove (delete) the specified \fIflag\fP from an SCCS file. Several
+\fB-d\fP options may be supplied on a single \fIadmin\fP
+command. See the \fB-f\fP option for allowable \fIflag\fP names. (The
+\fBl\fP \fIlist\fP flag gives a \fIlist\fP of releases
+to be unlocked. See the \fB-f\fP option for further description of
+the \fBl\fP flag and the syntax of a \fIlist\fP.)
+.TP 7
+\fB-a\ \fP \fIlogin\fP
+Specify a \fIlogin\fP name, or numerical group ID, to be added to
+the list of users who may make deltas (changes) to the SCCS
+file. A group ID shall be equivalent to specifying all \fIlogin\fP
+names common to that group ID. Several \fB-a\fP options may be
+used on a single \fIadmin\fP command line. As many \fIlogin\fPs, or
+numerical group IDs, as desired may be on the list
+simultaneously. If the list of users is empty, then anyone may add
+deltas. If \fIlogin\fP or group ID is preceded by a
+\fB'!'\fP , the users so specified shall be denied permission to make
+deltas.
+.TP 7
+\fB-e\ \fP \fIlogin\fP
+Specify a \fIlogin\fP name, or numerical group ID, to be erased from
+the list of users allowed to make deltas (changes) to the
+SCCS file. Specifying a group ID is equivalent to specifying all \fIlogin\fP
+names common to that group ID. Several \fB-e\fP
+options may be used on a single \fIadmin\fP command line.
+.TP 7
+\fB-y[\fP\fIcomment\fP\fB]\fP
+Insert the \fIcomment\fP text into the SCCS file as a comment for
+the initial delta in a manner identical to that of \fIdelta\fP. In
+the POSIX locale, omission of the \fB-y\fP option shall result in
+a default comment
+line being inserted in the form:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fB"date and time created %s %s by %s", <\fP\fIdate\fP\fB>, <\fP\fItime\fP\fB>, <\fP\fIlogin\fP\fB>
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+where <\fIdate\fP> is expressed in the format of the \fIdate\fP utility's
+\fB%y\fP / \fB%m\fP / \fB%d\fP conversion specification, <\fItime\fP>
+in the format of the \fIdate\fP utility's \fB%T\fP conversion specification
+format, and <\fIlogin\fP> is the
+login name of the user creating the file.
+.TP 7
+\fB-m\ \fP \fImrlist\fP
+Insert the list of modification request (MR) numbers into the SCCS
+file as the reason for creating the initial delta in a
+manner identical to \fIdelta\fP. The application shall ensure that
+the \fBv\fP flag is set
+and the MR numbers are validated if the \fBv\fP flag has a value (the
+name of an MR number validation program). A diagnostic
+message shall be written if the \fBv\fP flag is not set or MR validation
+fails.
+.TP 7
+\fB-h\fP
+Check the structure of the SCCS file and compare the newly computed
+checksum with the checksum that is stored in the SCCS file.
+If the newly computed checksum does not match the checksum in the
+SCCS file, a diagnostic message shall be written.
+.TP 7
+\fB-z\fP
+Recompute the SCCS file checksum and store it in the first line of
+the SCCS file (see the \fB-h\fP option above). Note that
+use of this option on a truly corrupted file may prevent future detection
+of the corruption.
+.sp
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+The following operands shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fIfile\fP
+A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If \fIfile\fP
+is a directory, the \fIadmin\fP utility shall behave as
+though each file in the directory were specified as a named file,
+except that non-SCCS files (last component of the pathname does
+not begin with \fBs.\fP) and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.
+.TP 7
+\fInewfile\fP
+A pathname of an SCCS file to be created.
+.sp
+.LP
+If exactly one \fIfile\fP or \fInewfile\fP operand appears, and it
+is \fB'-'\fP , the standard input shall be read; each
+line of the standard input shall be taken to be the name of an SCCS
+file to be processed. Non-SCCS files and unreadable files shall
+be silently ignored.
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+The standard input shall be a text file used only if \fB-i\fP is specified
+without an option-argument or if a \fIfile\fP or
+\fInewfile\fP operand is specified as \fB'-'\fP . If the first character
+of any standard input line is <SOH> in the POSIX
+locale, the results are unspecified.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+The existing SCCS files shall be text files of an unspecified format.
+.LP
+The application shall ensure that the file named by the \fB-i\fP option's
+\fIname\fP option-argument shall be a text file; if
+the first character of any line in this file is <SOH> in the POSIX
+locale, the results are unspecified. If this file contains
+more than 99999 lines, the number of lines recorded in the header
+for this file shall be 99999 for this delta.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+\fIadmin\fP:
+.TP 7
+\fILANG\fP
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
+are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
+for
+the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.TP 7
+\fILC_ALL\fP
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.TP 7
+\fILC_CTYPE\fP
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
+of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
+opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
+.TP 7
+\fILC_MESSAGES\fP
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and
+the contents of the default \fB-y\fP comment.
+.TP 7
+\fINLSPATH\fP
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of \fILC_MESSAGES
+\&.\fP
+.sp
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+Any SCCS files created shall be text files of an unspecified format.
+During processing of a \fIfile\fP, a locking
+\fIz-file\fP, as described in \fIget\fP , may be created and deleted.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.TP 7
+\ 0
+Successful completion.
+.TP 7
+>0
+An error occurred.
+.sp
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+It is recommended that directories containing SCCS files be writable
+by the owner only, and that SCCS files themselves be
+read-only. The mode of the directories should allow only the owner
+to modify SCCS files contained in the directories. The mode of
+the SCCS files prevents any modification at all except by SCCS commands.
