lstype

Lists a VOB's type objects

APPLICABILITY

SYNOPSIS

• ClearCase, ClearCase LT and Attache on UNIX-List type objects:

lstype [ -local ] [ -l·ong | -s·hort | -fmt format-string ] [ -obs·olete ]

{ -kin·d type-kind [ -inv·ob vob-selector ]
| type-selector ...
}

• ClearCase and ClearCase LT on Windows only-List type objects graphically:

lstype -g·raphical [ -kin·d type-kind ] [ -inv·ob vob-selector ]

• ClearCase, ClearCase LT and Attache on Windows only-List type objects in the command window:

lstype [ -local ] [ -l·ong | -s·hort | -fmt format-string ] [ -obs·olete ]

{ -kin·d type-kind [ -inv·ob vob-selector ]
| type-selector ...
}

DESCRIPTION

The lstype command lists information about one or more of a VOB's type objects.

Obsolete Type Objects

Type objects can be rendered obsolete with the lock -xxtype -obsolete command. lstype lists an obsolete type object only if you either specify its name with a type-name argument or use the -obsolete option.

RESTRICTIONS

None.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

LISTING TYPE OBJECTS GRAPHICALLY. Default: Lists type objects in the command window.

-g·raphical

Starts a type object browser to display type objects.

LISTING LOCAL COPIES OF GLOBAL TYPES. Default: In addition to types in the specified VOB, lstype lists all global types in associated administrative VOBs.

-local

Lists ordinary types and local copies of global types. For more information about global types, see Administrator's Guide.

LISTING FORMAT.  Default: A type object listing looks like this:

07-Nov-1998     sakai     element type "text_file"

-l·ong

Expands the listing to include any type-specific parameters (for example, that a label type is one-per-element or that an element type inherited its type manager from the text_file supertype and so on.)

-s·hort

Restricts the listing to type names only.

-fmt format-string

Lists information using the specified format string. See the fmt_ccase reference page for details on using this report-writing facility.

LISTING OBSOLETE TYPES.  Default: If you don't specify any type-name argument, only the nonobsolete types of the specified kind are listed.

-obs·olete

Includes obsolete type objects in the listing when you don't specify any individual type objects with type-name arguments. Has no effect if you specify one or more type-name arguments.

SPECIFYING THE KIND OF TYPE OBJECT.  Default: None.

-kin·d type-kind

A kind of type object. All objects of this kind are listed. type-kind can be one of:

attype, brtype, eltype, hltype, lbtype, trtype

SPECIFYING THE VOB.  Default: Lists type objects in the VOB that contains the current working directory.

-inv·ob vob-selector

The VOB whose type objects are to be listed. Specify vob-selector in the form [vob:]pname-in-vob

pname-in-vob

Pathname of the VOB-tag (whether or not the VOB is mounted) or of any file-system object within the VOB (if the VOB is mounted)

SPECIFYING INDIVIDUAL TYPE OBJECTS.  Default: None.

type-selector ...

One or more names of type objects. The listing includes only the named objects. Specify type-selector in the form [type-kind:]type-name[@vob-selector]

type-kind	One of attype Attribute type brtype Branch type eltype Element type hltype Hyperlink type lbtype Label type trtype Trigger type
type-name	Name of the type object.
vob-selector	Object-selector for a VOB, in the same format as with -invob, above.

EXAMPLES

The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

NOTE: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf-for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only-for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.

• List all branch types defined in the VOB containing the current working directory.

cmd-context lstype -kind brtype

15-Dec.09:34   jenny       branch type "main"
"Predefined branch type used to represent the main branch of elements."
08-Dec.12:12   jackson     branch type "test"
"test development branch"
08-Dec.12:12   jackson     branch type "patch2"
08-Dec.12:12   jackson     branch type "patch3"
08-Dec.12:12   jackson     branch type "rel2_bugfix"

• List all label types defined in the current VOB. Use the short format, and include obsolete label types.

cmd-context lstype -kind lbtype -obsolete -short

BACKSTOP
CHECKEDOUT
LATEST
REL1 (obsolete)
REL2
REL3
V2.7.1 (obsolete)

Note that the listing includes the three predefined label types, BACKSTOP, LATEST, and CHECKEDOUT.

• List information about a particular user-defined element type, in long format.

cmd-context lstype -long eltype:c_source

element type "c_source"
 08-Dec-98.12:12:38 by Chuck Jackson (test user) (jackson.dvt@oxygen)
 owner: jackson
 group: dvt
 scope: this VOB (ordinary type)
 type manager: text_file_delta (inherited from type "text_file")
 supertype: text_file
 meta-type of element: file element

• List information about a particular trigger type, in long format.

cmd-context lstype -long trtype:trig1

 scope: this VOB (ordinary type)

• List the name, lock status, master replica, and scope of all label types in the VOB /vobs/stage. (The command line, including the quoted format string, constitutes a single input line. The input line below is broken to improve readability. Spaces are significant.)

cmd-context lstype -fmt "%n\n\tLock status: %[locked]p\n\tMaster replica: %[master]p\n\tScope: %[type_scope]p\n" -kind lbtype
V3.BL3
