RLE_ADDHIST(3) 3 (9/9/88) RLE_ADDHIST(3)
NAME
rle_addhist - add a history comment to an RLE file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <rle.h>
void rle_addhist( argv, in_hdr, out_hdr )
char **argv;
rle_hdr *in_hdr, *out_hdr;
DESCRIPTION
rle_addhist is used to add history comments to the RLE(5)
file in the form:
HISTORY=cmd arg1 arg2 on Tue Sep 13 01:06:49 WST 1988
where cmd, arg1, etc. are the command line arguments which
have been used to generate or filter this RLE file. The
HISTORY comment is always appended to so that an accumulated
history is kept along with a timestamp. Programs which
generate RLE files should call rle_addhist as follows:
rle_addhist(argv,(rle_hdr *)0,&out_hdr);
Programs which filter RLE files should call rle_addhist as:
rle_addhist(argv,&in_hdr,&out_hdr);
