RLE_ADDHIST(3)        DragonFly Library Functions Manual        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);
