+.TH HISTORY 1
+.SH NAME
+history \- print file names from the dump
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B history

+.B -fuv

+.B -d
+.I dumpfilesystem

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I History
+prints the names, dates, and sizes, and modifier of all versions of the named
+.IR files ,
+looking backwards in time,
+stored in the dump file system.
+If the file exists in the main tree, the first line of output will be its current state.
+For example,
+.IP
+.EX
+history /adm/users
+.EE
+.PP
+produces
+.IP
+.EX
+May 14 15:29:18 EDT 2001 /adm/users 10083 [adm]
+May 14 15:29:18 EDT 2001 /n/dump/2001/0515/adm/users 10083 [adm]
+May 11 17:26:24 EDT 2001 /n/dump/2001/0514/adm/users 10481 [adm]
+May 10 16:40:51 EDT 2001 /n/dump/2001/0511/adm/users 10476 [adm]
+	...
+.EE
+.PP
+When presented with a path of the form
+.BI /n/ fs / path \fR,
+.I history
+will use
+.IB fs dump
+as the name of the dump file system, and will print a history of
+.IR path .
+.PP
+The
+.B -v
+option enables verbose debugging printout.
+.PP
+The 
+.B -D
+option causes
+.IR diff (1)
+to be run for each adjacent pair of dump files.
+The options
+.B -abcemnw
+are passed through to
+.IR diff;
+the little-used
+.I diff option
+.B -f
+is replaced by the functionality described below,
+and the
+.B -r
+option is disallowed.
+.PP
+The
+.B -u
+option causes times to be printed in GMT (UT) rather than local time.
+.PP
+The
+.B -d
+option selects some other dump file system such as
+.IR /n/bootesdump .
+.PP
+The
+.B -f
+option forces the search to continue even when the
+file in question does not exist (useful for files that only
+exist intermittently).
+.PP
+Finally, the
+.B -s
+option
+sets the starting (most recent) date for the output.
