6.10 Prcs Rekey

— Command: prcs rekey [option ...] [project [file-or-dir ...]]

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: ‘-u

Replace keywords in the selected files, according to the version named in the project file. Files whose contents would not change under keyword substitution are not modified. With the ‘-n’ option, simply reports files that will change as a result of keyword replacement. See Keywords.

When prcs overwrites a working file that is a symbolic link, then (unless the :symlink option is specified for that file), it will overwrite the file that the link references, without changing the link itself. With the ‘-u’ option, prcs will instead remove the link and create a new file.

You can use this command to update keywords in working files after performing a prcs checkin, which does not modify keyword values.
