You can create a symbolically linked object in the database
or a controlled symbolic link from file_spec to path_name.
This subcommand is available to UNIX users
only.
About this task
ccm ln [-s] [-c|-comment comment_string] [-ce|-commentedit]
[-cf|-commentfile file_path] [-t|-task task_spec] file_path file_spec
- -c|-comment comment
- Specifies a comment to be appended on all baseline projects and
their members when they are checked in to the released state.
The comment can contain more than one line and accepts
backslash-encoded values.
- You can use this option with -commentedit and -commentfile.
If you use the -commentedit option, the comment displays
in the default text editor.
- -ce|-commentedit
- Specifies to invoke the default text editor to compose and edit
the comment. The result saved from the text editor is used as the
final comment. You can use this option with the -comment and -commentfile options.
- -cf|-commentfile file_path
- Specifies to use the contents of the specified file for the comment.
If you specified -comment, it is appended to that
comment. You can use this option with the -commentedit option.
- file_spec
- Specifies the name or the name and version of the symbolic link.
The file_spec must provide a context project and
parent directory. You can use a work area reference form or a project
reference spec form (see File specification for details). If a version
is not specified, then a default version is used.
- file_path
- Specifies the path to which the symbolic link points. The path
does not have to be to a controlled file or a path in a maintained
work area.
- -s
- Provides UNIX-style compatibility; otherwise, the option is ignored.
- -t|-task task_spec
- Specifies that the symbolic link is associated with the specified
task. You can set the task_spec to a single task
(see Task specification for details). If this option
is not specified, the symbolic link is associated with any current
task that is set.
Example
Create a symbolic link called
sort.c to
the
sort.c object in the
ico_2-1 project.
ccm ln -s \
/user/ccm_user_Aug10/ico_2-1/ico_2/utils/sort.c
sort.c
Member sort.c-1 added to project ico_2-1
ccm ln -t 44 /users/kg/ccm_wa/keng421/john-unix/john/init.c /users/gke
