Can you make sure that these commands still work with a space before applying them.

Can you make sure that these commands still work with a space before applying them.

I checked the RCS man pages and the options are documented as directly attached without spaces:

  • -r[rev] not -r [rev]
  • -m[msg] not -m [msg]

For example, the man page shows: "co -r1.2 example.c"

I want to make sure - should I add the spaces anyway for readability (if RCS accepts both), or keep the documented syntax?

Use a space but only if the command functions with a space. It's part of our Style guide to have a space there for consistency across pages

The man page shows the syntax as -r[rev] (attached), but I don't have RCS installed to test. If you've verified they work with spaces, I'll apply the suggestions.

I haven't verified it either.
