Description

This reference page provides a general orientation to the contents of this manual.

cleartool subcommands

The majority of ClearCase commands are cleartool subcommands; see the cleartool reference page.

MultiSite reference pages

This manual includes only those MultiSite commands that you can invoke through cleartool as well as through multitool:

chmaster
lsmaster
lsreplica
reqmaster

The IBM Rational ClearQuest MultiSite Administrator's Guide contains reference pages for all MultiSite commands.

Information of general interest

The following reference pages are of interest to all users, as the information they contain is useful in various contexts:

cleartool	Object selector syntax, escaping characters, quoting command arguments, object naming rules and restrictions
env_ccase	Environment variables
events_ccase	VOB event records
fmt_ccase	Command output formatting directives
pathnames_ccase	Pathname interpretation and resolution
permissions	Summary of permissions checking for cleartool commands
query_language	VOB query language
version_selector	Version selector syntax
wildcards_ccase	Wildcards

Object-type independent commands

The majority of commands manipulate specific object types, and it is easy to think of the commands in those narrow terms. However, it is useful to remember that some commands can operate on various object types:

checkvob	Checks hyperlinks to objects
chevent	Changes object event records
chmaster	Transfers mastership of objects to other VOB replicas
cleardescribe	Describes objects
describe	Describes objects
lock	Locks objects
lshistory	Lists the histories (event records) of objects
lslock	Lists locks on objects
mkattr	Attaches attributes to objects
protect	Changes ownership or permissions of objects
rename	Renames objects
rmattr	Removes attributes from objects
unlock	Unlocks objects

UNIX and Linux graphical user interfaces

The reference pages listed below describe how to start the graphical user interfaces on Linux and the UNIX system. Also see the schemes reference page, which describes X Window System resources for these GUIs.

cleardescribe	Displays objects
cleardiffbl	Compares UCM baselines
clearhistory	Displays histories of VOB objects
clearjoinproj	Enables you to join UCM projects
clearmrgman	Merges element versions
clearprojexp	UCM project browser
clearviewupdate	Updates snapshot views
xclearcase	Primary GUI
xcleardiff	Compares/merges element versions
