DESCRIPTION

xclearcase is implemented
as an X Window System application using a standard window system toolkit.
For a description of mouse and keyboard conventions, see your X Window System
documentation.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
Selecting a Browser
- Default
- Starting xclearcase brings up the main
panel, an enhanced file browser. (xclearcase –file has
the same effect.)
- –file [ –ngraph ] dir-pname ...
- Starts a separate file browser on each
of the specified VOB directories (or a single browser on the current working
directory). Using –ngraph starts non-graphical browsers;
objects are listed by name instead of being displayed as icons.
- –attype , –brtype , –eltype , –hltype , –lbtype , –trtype
- Starts a single type browser.
- –vtree[ –all ] [ –nmerge ]
[ –nco ] [ –tag view-tag[,...]
] pname ...
- Similar to the cleartool lsvtree –graphical command.
For details about the –all, –nmerge,
and –nco options, see the lsvtree reference
page. For information about the –tag option, see the
section X
Resources.
- –htree [ options ]
- Starts a Hyperlink Tree Browser. By default,
the browser starts in inheritance mode; use –direct to
start it in direct mode.
By default, there is no filtering of
hyperlinks by kind of file system object; use –nelement, –nbranch,
and/or –nversion to exclude links whose left ends are
connected to certain kinds of objects.
By default, there is no filtering of
hyperlinks by direction; use –from_only or –to_only to
restrict the display to hyperlinks from/to the specified pname.
By default, annotations to hyperlinks
are indicated by a single quote ( ' );
use –text to display full annotations.
By default, the browser uses a graphical
display (icons); use –ngraph to have the browser start
in text mode.
By default, hyperlinks of all types except Merge are
displayed; use –include or –exclude to
specify exactly which types to display.
X Window System Options
- Default
- None.
- X-options
- xclearcase accepts
all the standard X Toolkit command-line options (for example, –display),
as described in the X(1) reference page. Quote the option
string if it includes white space.

RESOURCES
Following are the shell instance names
for the xclearcase browsers and transcript pad:
The vtreeTagColors resource
takes a comma-separated list of colors. For example:
The colors on this list are used for
the view tag annotations specified by the –tag option.
You can use the useSmallFonts resource
to increase the density of the File Browser's display, both when displaying
file names and when displaying icons:
EXAMPLES
