checkout command

When you check out an object in a non-shared project, its default state is working. When you check out a file or directory in a shared project, its default state is visible if it is a non-product. The default state is shared if it is a product.

When you check out an object, a writable version of the object is placed in the directory (use the ccm dir or ccm ls command to verify the object). When you check out a directory, no visible change is made to the file system. When you check out an object and use the -t option to specify a new version, you can specify the version and change the name of the new object. On UNIX, you can change the location where the symbolic link points to when you check out a symbolic link.

The object to check out must be specified in a form that provides a context project and parent directory.

You can use the project reference form even when the project does not have a maintained work area.

You cannot check out an object using afile_spec that does not provide a context project. Specify valid context projects by using a selection set reference form (for example, "@1") or an object name form (for example, foo.c-1:csrc:1).

The checkout command supports these subcommands:
