3.5.1 Basic Usage for get

There are very few common basic usage patterns for get. Below, `s.foo.c' denotes the name of any existing SCCS file.
`get s.foo.c'
Get a copy of the most recent trunk revision of `s.foo.c' into the file `foo.c'.

`get -Gbar s.foo.c'
Get a version from `s.foo.c', into `bar' rather than the default `foo.c'. The file produced by get is often referred to as the "g-file".

`get -r1.3 s.foo.c'
Get revision 1.3 from `s.foo.c' into `foo.c'. The `-G' option can be used to set the name of the gotten file.

`get -p s.foo.c'
Get the most recent trunk revision, and print it on standard output. The `-r' option could also be used to specify some other revision.

Unless you specify the `-k' or `-e' option, the retrieved file will be created read-only.
