     iiidddeeennnttt searches for all occurrences of the pattern  $$$_k_e_y_w_o_r_d:::...$$$  in  the
     named files or, if no file name appears, the standard input.

     These patterns are normally inserted automatically  by  the  RCS  command
     cccooo(1),  but  can also be inserted manually.  The option ---qqq suppresses the
     warning given if there are no patterns in a file.

     iiidddeeennnttt works on text files  as  well  as  object  files  and  dumps.   For
     example, if the C program in fff...ccc contains

          char rcsid[] = "$Id: f.c,v 5.0 1990/08/22 09:09:36 eggert Exp $";

     and fff...ccc is compiled into fff...ooo, then the command

          iiidddeeennnttt  fff...ccc  fff...ooo

     will output

          f.c:
              $Id: f.c,v 5.0 1990/08/22 09:09:36 eggert Exp $ f.o:
              $Id: f.c,v 5.0 1990/08/22 09:09:36 eggert Exp $
