The pwv command lists the view tag of your current view context, or ** NONE ** if there is none. There are two kinds of view contexts, as follows:
Note: This command does not require a product license.
You can establish or change your dynamic view context in three ways:
On UNIX, if you use setview and change your working directory to a view-extended pathname, you have two view contexts: your working directory view, which is used to process simple file names and relative pathnames; and your set view, which is used to process full pathnames (those that begin with a slash). On Windows, there is no notion of a set view context.
Note: On UNIX, use the root directory path as the prefix for element paths in build scripts originally developed to work in a dynamic view that you now want to use in a snapshot view.
If you start a dynamic view (see startview) and then change tothe view (rather than using setview ), this option returns the extended view path. This option returns nothing when issued from a set UNIX dynamic view (see setview), from a Windows dynamic view path, or from a Windows snapshot view path that has been mapped to a drive (using the subst command) that is your current drive.
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.
