Identifying the text mode of a view

Question & Answer


Question

How can you determine the text mode value of an existing IBM® Rational® ClearCase® view?

Answer


Run the following command from the command line to display the text mode of a view:
cleartool lsview -properties -full view_tag


From the output, find the line that starts with Text mode:

The following is an example of running the command in the command line console:
C:\>cleartool lsview -properties -full dynamic_view


In this example, the output displays "unix" as the value of the text mode property:

* dynamic_view         \\myHost\cc_storage\views\dynamic_view.vws

Last view private object update 31-Mar-04.09:54:55 by DOMAIN\username.DOMAIN\[email protected]

Text mode: unix

Properties: dynamic readwrite nshareable_dos

Owner: DOMAIN\username  : rwx (all)

Group: DOMAIN\user      : rwx (all)

Other:                  : r-x (read)



Note: With these methods, transparent text mode is displayed as unix, strip_cr text mode is displayed as strip_cr, and insert_cr text mode is displayed as msdos.


Refer to the IBM Rational ClearCase Developing Software Guide under the topic of About view text modes for further information.
