%[ min ][.max ][ MODIFIER [, ... ] ]keyletter

The conversion specification format closely resembles that of the C-language function printf():

• Percent sign (%)
• (Optional) A minimum and/or maximum field display width specifier, of the form min.max (see the section Specifying field width.)
• (Optional for some conversion specs) One or more modifier characters (uppercase) that specify one or more variants and/or a bracket-enclosed parameter (see the %a conversion specification)
• A key letter (lowercase), which indicates the kind of data to display

Unlike printf() specifiers, conversion specifications are not replaced by arguments supplied elsewhere on the command line; they are replaced automatically by cleartool, usually with field values extracted from event records.

These are the conversion specifications:

%a

All attached attributes. Attributes are listed as attr-name=value pairs. These pairs are enclosed in parentheses and separated by a comma-space combination (,SPACE). Variants:

%Na	No commas. Suppress the parentheses and commas in attribute list output; separate multiple attributes with spaces only.
%Sa	Value only. Display attribute values only (rather than attr=value)
%[attype]a	This attribute only. Display only the specified attribute, if it has been attached to the object

%c

Comment string. The user-supplied or system-generated comment stored in an event record. A newline character is appended to the comment string for display purposes only. Variant:

%Nc	No newline. Do not append a newline character to the comment string.

%d

Date/Time. The time stamp of the operation or event, in the format specified by the locale setting of the computer. The following are variants of %d:

%Sd	(Short) Date only.
%Vd	(Very long) Day of week, date, and time, in long format, where the month and day of the week are spelled out rather than abbreviated. The locale setting determines the exact format in which the date is displayed.
%Nd	(Numeric) Date and time in numeric form — yyyymmdd.time (time reported in 24-hour format).
%Ad	Age in days.
%MAd	Age in months.
%BAd	Age as a bar graph (longer bars for more recent events). A bar graph is drawn as a sequence of 0-5 number signs (#), representing the elapsed time since the reported operation as follows:
	#####	Less than a week
	####	Less than a month
	###	Less than three months
	##	Less than six months
	#	Less than a year
		More than a year
%OAd	Age as a bar graph (longer bars for older events). A bar graph is drawn as a sequence of 0-5 number signs (#), representing the elapsed time since the reported operation as follows:
	#####	More than a year
	####	Less than a year
	###	Less than six months
	##	Less than three months
	#	Less than a month
		Less than a week

%e

Event kind; a brief description of the event. The event kind is derived from an event record's name, object kind, and operation kind fields. Sample event kinds:

create version
create branch
make hyperlink "Merge" on version
make label "REL2" on version
lock branch type

%f

Checked-out version information: For an element checked out to your view, the version ID of the checked-out element; for an element that is not checked out to your view, displays nothing. Variants:

%Rf	Checkout status — reserved or unreserved.
%Tf	View tag: The view tag of the view that checked out the element.
%[text]f	Text: Displays text as a prefix to the version ID.

%h

Name of the host where the event originated (the host on which the user %u was running that user caused the event). The host name is as reported by uname(2) (UNIX and Linux) or as stored in the ComputerName key in the Windows Registry (Windows).

For a VOB replica, %h displays the name of the host at which the mkreplica –export command that created the replica was entered. For the original replica in a family, this is the host where the original VOB was located when the first mkreplica –export command was entered.

%l

Labels: For versions, all attached labels; the null string otherwise. Labels are output as a comma-separated list, enclosed in parentheses. A <SPACE> character follows each comma. Variants:

%Cl	Max labels: Specify the maximum number of labels to display with the max-field-width parameter (see Specifying field width). If there are more labels, "..." is appended to the output. If no max-field-width is specified, the maximum default value is 3.
%Nl	No commas: Suppress the parentheses and commas in label list output; separate labels with spaces only.

%m

Object kind: The kind of object involved in the operation. For example:

• file
• element
• branch
• version
• stream
• derived object
• branch type
• label type

Variant:

%Km	Object selector kind; for example, brtype or lbtype. For more information about object selectors, see the cleartool reference page.

%n

Name of object: For a file system object, the extended path name (including the version ID for versions, and the DO ID for derived objects); for a type object, its name. Variants:

%Dn	Database identifier (DBID): The unique database identifier of the object.
%En	Element name: For a file system object, its standard file or element name, or its path name; for a type object, its name.
%Ln	Leaf name: For any named object, its simple name. The terminal node of a path name. This modifier can be combined with others.
%On	Object identifier (OID): The unique identifier of a VOB object.
%Sn	Short name: For a version, a short form of the version ID: branch-pathname/version-number. For other objects, the null string.
%PSn	Predecessor Short name: For a version, a short form of the predecessor version's version ID: branch-pathname/version-number. For other objects, the null string.
%Vn	Version ID: For a version or derived object, the version ID; for other objects, the null string.
%PVn	Predecessor Version ID: For a version, the predecessor version's version ID; for other objects, the null string.
%Xn	Extended name: Same as default %n output, but for checked-out versions, append the extension @@\branch-pathname\CHECKEDOUT. For non-file-system objects, prints the object selector. For more information about object selectors, see the cleartool reference page.

%o

Operation kind: The operation that caused the event to take place; commonly, the name of a cleartool subcommand. For example:

mkelem
mklabel
checkin
checkout

See the events_ccase reference page for a complete list of operations and the commands that cause them.

%[p]p

Property value: Displays the value of the property specified in square brackets. If multiple values are returned, they are separated by spaces.

%[p]Xp

Extended property value: Displays the long form of the value of the property specified in square brackets. Not all property values have both long and short forms. Versions, in particular, are always displayed as though X had been specified.

%[p]Cp

Separate list items with a comma as well as a space.

%[p]Qp

Enclose pathnames in quotation marks (applies only to %[versions]).

The following tables list variants and the objects to which they apply. For ClearCase variants, see Table 1. For UCM variants, see Table 2. For MultiSite variants, see Table 3.

%%

Percent character (%).

A conversion specification can include an optional field width specifier, which assigns a minimum and/or maximum width, in characters, to the data field display. For example, the conversion specifier %10.15Lu will display, for each output line, the user's login name and group with a minimum of 10 characters (space padded if necessary) but not more than 15.

Usage rules:

• A single number is interpreted as a minimum width.
• To supply only a maximum width, put a decimal point before the number (for example, %.10En) or a zero and decimal point (%0.10En).
• To specify a constant display width, set the minimum and maximum widths to the same value (%20.20c).
• Values smaller than the specified minimum width are aligned on the right (padded left). A negative minimum width value (%–20.20c) aligns short values on the left.
• Values longer than the specified maximum width are truncated from the right. A negative maximum width value (%15.–15Sn) truncates long values from the left.
• A maximum width specifier has special meaning when used with the %Cl specifier. For example, %.5Cl prints a version's first five labels only, followed by "...".
