6. Interoperability

This part of the CSSC manual describes how CSSC interoperates with SCCS. For the enormous majority of cases, this occurs seamlessly; however sometimes it is not possible for CSSC to pick "one right way" to proceed unaided. Circumstances where this occurs are described in detail, below.

In order to interoperate better with other implementations of SCCS, the CSSC suite can also be configured to turn off several features which provide flexibility beyond that which is available in some other implementations of SCCS. Some other interoperability features of CSSC exist to maintain compatibility but do not need to be turned off.

6.1 Binary File Support  Enabling or disabling support for binary files.
6.2 Executable File Support  Support for a SCO extension.
6.3 BitKeeper  Limited support for Bitkeeper files exists.
6.4 Maximum Line Length  Limiting the length of lines in the SCCS file.
6.5 Limitations of diff  Diff has limits too, on many non-GNU systems.
6.6 Checking the Current Configuration  Viewing the current configuration.
6.7 Bug-for-Bug Compatibility  We go to great lengths to be compatible
6.8 Incompatibilities  Sometimes we cannot be fully compatible
6.9 SCCS Version Differences  Versions of SCCS behave inconsistently
6.10 CSSC Extensions  Behaviour which is specific to CSSC.
