ClearCase Reference Manual, Release 4.0, Windows

rmlabel

Removes a version label from a version

APPLICABILITY

ClearCase (cleartool subcommand), Attache (command)

SYNOPSIS

rmlabel [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery: | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment ]
[ -ver·sion version-selector ] label-type-selector pname ...

DESCRIPTION

The rmlabel command removes one or more version labels from versions of elements. Labels can be attached to versions by the mklabel command and by triggers (mktrtype -mklabel).

rmlabel deletes a reference to a label type object. To delete the label type object itself or the type object and all its instances, use the rmtype command.

PERMISSIONS AND LOCKS

Permissions Checking: For each object processed, you must be one of the following: element group member, element owner, VOB owner, member of the ClearCase group. See the permissions reference page.

Locks: An error occurs if any of the following objects are locked: VOB, element type, element, branch type, branch, label type.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

EVENT RECORDS AND COMMENTS. Default: Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: -nc). See CUSTOMIZING COMMENT HANDLING in the comments reference page. Comments can be edited with chevent.

-c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment: Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference page.

SPECIFYING THE VERSIONS TO BE UNLABELED. Default: None.

pname ...: One or more pathnames, indicating versions from which the label is to be removed. What kind of pathname is valid depends on how the label has been used:

: If the label has been used only once in an element's version tree, you can specify the element itself, or any of its branches or versions:

foo.c	(version selected by view)
foo.c@@	(element itself)
foo.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix	(branch of element)

: If the label has been used multiple times, you must specify either the version to which the label is attached, or the branch on which that version resides.

foo.c	(version selected by view)
foo.c@@\REL1	(version specified by label)
foo.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix\3	(version specified by version-ID)
foo.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix	(branch on which version resides)

: Using the -version option modifies the way in which this argument is interpreted.

-ver·sion version-selector: Specifies the version from which the label is to be removed. See the version_selector reference page for syntax details. Using this option overrides a version-extended pathname. For example:

`cmd-context rmlabel XXX util.c@@\REL1`	`(removes label from version REL1)`
`cmd-context rmlabel -ver \main\3 XXX util.c@@\REL1`	`(removes label from version \main\3)`

SPECIFYING THE LABEL TO BE REMOVED. Default: None.

label-type-selector: An existing label type. Specify label-type-selector in the form [lbtype:]type-name[@vob-selector]

type-name

Name of the label type

vob-selector

VOB specifier

Specify vob-selector in the form [vob:]pname-in-vob

pname-in-vob

Pathname of the VOB-tag (whether or not the VOB is mounted) or of any file-system object within the VOB (if the VOB is mounted)

EXAMPLES

Examples including 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 command interpreter prompt. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

Remove the label REL3 from a version of msg.c without specifying which version (assumes the label is attached to one version only).

cmd-context rmlabel REL3 msg.c

Removed label "REL3" from "msg.c" version "\main\1".

Remove the label REL2 from the version of element util.c specified by a version selector.

cmd-context rmlabel -version \main\REL2 REL2 util.c

Removed label "REL2" from "util.c" version "\main\1".

Remove the label REL1.1 from version 1 on the maintenance branch of file element util.c. Use a version-extended pathname to indicate the version.

cmd-context rmlabel REL1.1 util.c@@\main\maintenance\1

Removed label "REL1.1" from "util.c" version "\main\maintenance\1".
