EXAMPLES
The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh.
If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping
conventions.
The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for
use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command
mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command
interpreter process the command appropriately.
In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents
the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command.
In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents
the interactive cleartool prompt.
