Every dynamic view on a host is displayed as a subdirectory of
the host’s view root directory.
On computers running Linux® or the UNIX® system, the default view root directory
is /view. On Windows® computers, the default view
root directory is \\view, which is mapped by default
to drive M.
In addition to the various view storage directories, the view root contains
the special file
.specdev. If this file is missing or
damaged, attempts to access dynamic views on the host generate this error
message:
cleartool: Error: Unable to open file "viewroot": ClearCase object not found.
