DESCRIPTION

This reference page provides a general orientation to the contents of this manual.

cleartool Subcommands

The majority of ClearCase and ClearCase LT commands are cleartool subcommands; see the cleartool reference page.

MultiSite Reference Pages

This manual includes only those MultiSite commands that you can invoke through cleartool as well as through multitool:

  • chmaster
  • lsmaster
  • lsreplica
  • reqmaster

The Administrator's Guide for Rational ClearCase MultiSite contains reference pages for all MultiSite commands.

Information of General Interest

The following reference pages are of interest to all users, as the information they contain is useful in various contexts:

cleartoolObject selector syntax, escaping characters, quoting command arguments, object naming rules and restrictions
env_ccaseEnvironment variables
events_ccaseVOB event records
fmt_ccaseCommand output formatting directives
pathnames_ccasePathname interpretation and resolution
permissionsSummary of permissions checking for cleartool commands
query_languageVOB query language
version_selectorVersion selector syntax
wildcards_ccaseWildcards

Object-Type Independent Commands

The majority of commands manipulate specific object types, and it is easy to think of the commands in those narrow terms. However, it is useful to remember that some commands can operate on various object types:

checkvobChecks hyperlinks to objects
cheventChanges object event records
chmasterTransfers mastership of objects to other VOB replicas
cleardescribeDescribes objects
clearhistoryLists the histories (event records) of objects
describeDescribes objects
lockLocks objects
lshistoryLists the histories (event records) of objects
lslockLists locks on objects
mkattrAttaches attributes to objects
protectChanges ownership or permissions of objects
renameRenames objects
rmattrRemoves attributes from objects
unlockUnlocks objects

UNIX Graphical User Interfaces

The reference pages listed below describe how to start the UNIX graphical user interfaces. Also see the schemes reference page, which describes X Window System resources for these GUIs.

cleardescribeDisplays objects
cleardiffblCompares UCM baselines
cleargetlogStarts the graphical log browser
clearhistoryDisplays histories of VOB objects
clearjoinprojEnables you to join UCM projects
clearmrgmanMerges element versions
clearprojexpUCM project browser
clearviewupdateUpdates snapshot views
clearvobadminStarts the graphical VOB admin browser
hyperhelpGUI to the documentation
xclearcasePrimary GUI
xcleardiffCompares/merges element versions
