add options

There are only two options you can give to `add':

-k kflag
This option specifies the default way that this file will be checked out. The kflag argument (see Substitution modes) is stored in the rcs file and can be changed with admin -k (see admin options). See Binary files, for information on using this option for binary files.

-m description
Using this option, you can give a description for the file. This description appears in the history log (if it is enabled, see history file). It will also be saved in the rcs history file inside the repository when the file is committed. The log command displays this description.

The description can be changed using `admin -t'. See admin.

If you omit the `-m description' flag, an empty string will be used. You will not be prompted for a description.
