commandclearcasecleartool

How do I list the description of a clearcase file?


I know that I can list all files I have on the "MyBranchName" with the following command:

cleartool find . -cview -type f -branch 'brtype(MyBranchName)' -print

But I need to know the description / (or comment if you want) of the files which you can set when you do checking-out or checking-in . Is there a way to do that too ?

I already searched for the internet after a solution, but couldn't find it. I start to think that it isn't even possible.


Solution

  • @VonC The output of that command will be: m:\myview\myvob\dir1\myfile.txt@@\main\branch {comment on BRANCH creation}

    Use -version instead, and consider using -all. For example, though I didn't include -type f so you see more than one line of output and also see comments (most of my test checkins are -nc...):

    cleartool find -all -version "brtype(p50-branch)" -exec 'cleartool desc -fmt "%n : %c\n" $CLEARCASE_XPN'
    /view/ncaexported/vobs/bc-linuxtest/test1@@/main/p50-branch/0 : 
    /view/ncaexported/vobs/bc-linuxtest/test1@@/main/p50-branch/1 : Added file element "testthis.txt".
