NAME
     ident - identify files

SYNOPSIS
     ident file ...

DESCRIPTION
     Ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the
     pattern $keyword:...$, where keyword is one of

	     Author
	     Date
	     Header
	     Locker
	     Log
	     Revision
	     Source
	     State

     These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the
     RCS command co (1), but can also be inserted manually.

     Ident works on text files as well as object files.  For
     example, if the C program in file f.c contains

	     char rcsid[] = "$Header:  Header information $";

     and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command

	     ident  f.c  f.o

     will print

	     f.c:
		     $Header:  Header information $
	     f.o:
		     $Header:  Header information $
