       grep-changelog - print ChangeLog entries matching criteria

SYNOPSIS

       grep-changelog [options] [CHANGELOG...]

DESCRIPTION

       grep-changelog searches the named CHANGELOGs (by default files matching
       the regular expressions ChangeLog and  ChangeLog\.[0-9]+)  for  entries
       matching  the  specified criteria.  At least one option or file must be
       specified.  This program is distributed with GNU Emacs.

OPTIONS

       The program accepts unambiguous abbreviations for option names.

       --author=AUTHOR
              Print entries whose author matches regular expression AUTHOR.

       --text=TEXT
              Print entries whose text matches regular expression TEXT.

       --exclude=TEXT
              Exclude entries matching regular expression TEXT.

       --from-date=YYYY-MM-DD
              Only  consider  entries  made  on  or  after  the  given   date.

       --rcs-log

              format removes author lines, leading spaces, and file names.

       --with-date
              In RCS log format, print short dates.
