RCS command to find file version

Hi,

I'm looking for the RCS command to find a file's version. I looked
through Unix in a Nutshell and didn't find exactly what I was looking
for. I know I can use keywords but I'd rather run a quick command
from the command line. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Liz

Use rlog(1).

Perhaps: rlog -h file
will do what you want.
