Pattern-matching characters
for ClearCase and ClearCase LT pathnames
SYNOPSIS
? * ~ [ ...
] ... DESCRIPTION
Wildcard (pattern-matching) characters
are recognized in these contexts:
- UNIX—cleartool single-command mode. The operating system
shell, not cleartool, interprets pathnames
and expands wildcards. With some cleartool commands
(catcr –select, find –name, lsvob),
you can specify a pathname pattern as a quoted argument; these are always
interpreted by cleartool:
- Windows—cleartool single-command mode. The command shell,
not cleartool, interprets pathnames and expands wildcards. Therefore, unless
you are using a command shell that expands pathname wildcards (cmd.exe does
not), these wildcards are disallowed. You can, however, use wildcards in special
pattern arguments in some cleartool subcommands
(catcr –select, find –name,
and lsvob). For example:
- cleartool interactive mode. cleartool expands
wildcards in pathnames. In cleartool commands
that accept pattern arguments (catcr –select,find –name,
and lsvob), you must quote a wildcard pattern
to protect it from evaluation by cleartool itself.
For example:
- Config
spec rules. The pathname pattern in a config spec rule is interpreted by a
view's associated view_server process.
ClearCase and ClearCase LT recognize
these wildcard characters:
