Why are you asking RCS file format questions on the CVS list?

Correct.

The format is just the word "strict" followed by a semicolon. If it's
there, it means that strict locking is in effect and vice versa. Strict
locking (in RCS) means that the owner of the file is not allowed to
check in a new revision without having locked the file just like any
other user. I suggest you look at the RCS man pages, particularly
rcsintro, rcs, and rcsfile.
