An existing module can be examined by checking it out. If it is to
be edited as well, it should be locked to indicate this to other users
(locked revisions are flagged in the output of -listlib
.)
Check-out occurs with this syntax:
texis -co [-module name] [-date D] [-rev N.N] [-lock] [script]
The module with the given name
is checked out and written to
the script
file, or standard output if not specified. If the
module name
is not given, it defaults to the base filename of
the script
. If -lock
is given, the module is locked as well.
By default the latest revision of the module is checked out; a
specific revision number can be examined with the -rev
option.
Or the latest revision on or before a (Texis-parseable) date D
can be obtained with the -date
option.
