    –fmt "format-string"
    format-string is a character string, composed of alphanumeric characters, conversion specifications, and escape sequences. It must be enclosed in double quotes ( " ).

Conversion specifications:
%a Attributes (modifiers: N, S, [attr-name])
%c Comment string (modifiers: N)
%d Date (modifiers: S, V, N, A, MA, BA, OA)
%e Event description
%f Checked-out version information (modifiers: R, T, [text])

\n <NL>
\t <TAB>
\' Single quote
\\ Literal (uninterpreted) backslash
\nnn Character specified by octal code

DESCRIPTION

Many ClearCase and ClearCase LT commands read information from a VOB database, format the data, and send it to standard output. (In most cases, the information is stored in event records, written by the command when it creates or modifies an object in a VOB. See the events_ccase reference page.) Some of these commands have a –fmt option, which you can use to format simple reports on VOB contents. Note that –fmt is a mutually exclusive alternative to the –short and –long options.

The following example shows how output-formatting options affect an lshistory command.

cmd-context lshistory -since 1-Feb util.c
10-Feb.11:21 anne create version "util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix/1"
 "fix bug: extra NL in time string"
10-Feb.11:21 anne create version "util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix/0"
10-Feb.11:21 anne create branch "util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix"

cmd-context lshistory -short -since 1-Feb util.c
util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix/1
util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix/0
util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix

cmd-context lshistory -fmt "\tElement: %-13.13En Version: %Vn\n" -since 1-Feb util.c
Element: util.c Version: /main/rel2_bugfix/1
Element: util.c Version: /main/rel2_bugfix/0
Element: util.c Version: /main/rel2_bugfix 

(A \t escape sequence tabs output to the next tab stop. Tab stops occur at eight-character intervals, except as described in the annotate reference page.)

Note: In commands that output data on multiple versions, such as lshistory and lsvtree, formatting is applied to each version, not to the command output as a whole.

CONVERSION SPECIFICATIONS

A conversion specification identifies a particular data item to display and specifies its display format.

Syntax

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

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

  • Percent sign (%)
  • Optionally, a minimum and/or maximum field display width specifier, of the form min.max (see “Specifying Field Width”.
  • Optionally (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 date.time format. Variants:
%Sd (Short) Date only.
%Vd (Very long) Day of week, date, and time.
%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) 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 pathname (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 pathname; for a type object, its name.
%Ln Leaf name — For any named object, its simple name. The terminal node of a pathname. 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. The following tables list variants and the objects to which they apply. For ClearCase and ClearCase LT variants, see Table 4. For UCM variants, see Table 5. For MultiSite variants, see Table 6.

Table 6. Variants for Replicated Objects

VariantApplies toDescription
%[master]p All objects that have mastershipName of object's master replica
%[master]Op All objects that have mastershipOID of object's master replica
%[reqmaster]p Replicas, branch types, branchesRequest for mastership status of the object.

For a replica:

disabled means that requests for mastership are not enabled in the replica.

enabled means that requests for mastership are enabled in the replica.

For a branch type:

denied for all instances means that requests for mastership of any instance of the branch type are denied.

allowed for all instances means that requests for mastership of any instance of the branch type are allowed (unless mastership requests for the specific branch are denied).

denied for branch type means that requests for mastership of the branch type are denied .

allowed for branch type means that requests for mastership of the branch type are denied.

For a branch:

denied means that requests for mastership of the branch are denied.

allowed means that requests for mastership of the branch are allowed.

%[type_mastership]p Attribute types, hyperlink types, label typesKind of mastership of the type: shared or unshared.

%[vob_replication]p VOBsReplication status of VOB: replicated or unreplicated.
%[replica_host]p ReplicasName of replica host.
%[c]t
Starting column number — Starts printing at the column number specified in square brackets. An overflow condition exists if the current position on the line is beyond the starting column number. By default, when an overflow condition occurs, the %t directive is ignored. Variants:
%[c]NtWhen an overflow condition occurs, print a newline and resume printing at the starting column number.
%[c]StWhen an overflow condition occurs, print one space before printing the next value.
%[c]TtWhen an overflow condition occurs, print a tab before printing the next value.
%u
Login name of the user associated with the event. Variants:
%Fu Full name of the user. This information is taken from the password database.
%Gu Group name of the user.
%Lu Login name and group of the user, in the form user.group.
%%
Percent character (%).

Specifying Field Width

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 "...".

EXAMPLES

The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.

Note: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf—for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only—for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.
