The chevent command modifies or replaces the comment string in one or more existing event records. It is useful for correcting typing errors and for including information that was omitted in the original comment.
There are several ways to specify an event record whose comment you want to change:
For details about the operations that cause event records to be created and how event records are attached to objects, see the events_ccase reference page. See also the comments reference page.
You must have one of the following identities:
The following restrictions apply:
(Replicated VOBs only) For a version, your current replica must master the branch containing the version. For any other object, your current replica must master the object.
Note: A final newline character in this file is included in the comment.
You can indicate which event record is to be changed by specifying a file system object, a non-file-system object, or a numerical event ID.
To determine the event ID of an event, use lshistory –eventid.
Specifying a checked-out version changes its checkout version comment. You can use any of the following to specify the checked-out version:
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.
