[1mNAME
     [0mident - identify files

[1mSYNOPSIS
     ident [0mfile ...

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_I_d_e_n_t searches the named files for all occurrences of the
     pattern $_k_e_y_w_o_r_d:...$, where _k_e_y_w_o_r_d is one of

	     Author
	     Date
	     Header
	     Locker
	     Log
	     Revision
	     Source
	     State

     These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the
     RCS command _c_o (_1), but can also be inserted manually.

     _I_d_e_n_t 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 $
