Hi,
I am now reading the Shell utility document.
I come across the word SCCS, the document said
there are many tools to manipulate the SCCS files
such as admin,delta...
Anyway, what is SCCS?

There are several "source code control systems" out there--SCCS is one
(was it the first in 1972), RCS is another, and CVS, which is
network-enabled, is commonly used today. It's a code repository for
software developers.

If you've never worked in a large software development cycle, you might
never have been exposed to this sort of tool, along with it's brothers
"make", used to actually build the project, and "expect", used to test
the resulting project.

Google or Wikipedia would have told you this, and then some.

Thank you, I have use cvs, svn, git, but I forget the
short form of Source Code Control Systems.
Thanks again!

You were counselled, "Google or Wikipedia would have
told you this, and then some," and I too think that for a
person as sophisticated as has used those three SCMs,
I'm surprised that you did not even try to perform a simple
Web search. After all, the whole first part of the C.U.S.
FAQ covers SCCS!
