       iiddeennt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coo(1), but can also be inserted manually.  The
       option  --qq  suppresses  the  warning given if there are no
       patterns in a file.

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

              cchhaarr  rrccssiidd[[]] == ""$$IIdd:: ff..cc,,vv 55..00 11999900//0088//2222 0099::0099::3366
              eeggggeerrtt EExxpp $$"";;

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

              iiddeenntt  ff..cc  ff..oo

       will output

              ff..cc::
                  $$IIdd:: ff..cc,,vv 55..00 11999900//0088//2222 0099::0099::3366 eeggggeerrtt EExxpp $$
