The mkfolder command creates a folder for a project. Folders have these characteristics:
The parent folder for a top-level folder is named RootFolder, a predefined object.
folder-selector is of the form [folder:]folder-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the folder's project VOB.
You can specify the folder as a simple name or as an object selector of the form [folder]:folder-name@vob-selector, where vob-selector specifies a project VOB (see the cleartool reference page). If you specify a simple name and the current directory is not a project VOB, this command assumes that the folder resides in the project VOB associated with the current view. If the current directory is a project VOB, that project VOB is the context for identifying the folder.
The folder name must be unique within the PVOB. All UCM objects share the same namespace. You'll get an error if the name you provide collides with the name of an existing UCM object, for example, a project.
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.
Note: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf—for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only—for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.
