Description

The lslock command lists locks that have been placed on one or more VOB-database objects (with the lock command). The listing can include all the locks created within a VOB or a particular set of locks:

  • Locks on elements or branches
  • Locks on type objects
  • Locks on VOB replica objects
  • Locks on VOB storage pools
  • The lock on the VOB object itself

Obsolete type objects

Type objects can be rendered obsolete with the lock –obsolete xxtype: command. lslock lists an obsolete type object if you specify its name with a type-name argument or you use the –obsolete option.

Restrictions

None.

Options and arguments

Listing lock state of local copies of global types

Default
lslock displays the lock state of the global type for the object selector you specify.
–local
Displays the lock state of the local copy of the global type. For more information, see the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide.

Report format

Default
A lock listing looks like this:

—09-01T08:42 drp lock attribute type "AT2" (locked)
"Locked for all users."

–l/ong
Expands the listing with more time-specific and user-specific information.
–s/hort
Restricts the listing to names of locked objects only.
–fmt format-string
Lists information using the specified format string. For details about using this report-writing facility, see the fmt_ccase reference page.

Listing obsolete objects

Default
An obsolete object is not listed unless you specify it with a command-line argument.
–obs/olete
Includes obsolete objects in the listing. (Has no effect if you specify one or more objects with arguments.)

Specifying the locked objects

Default
Lists all the locks created in the VOB containing the current working directory.
[ –pna/me ] pname ...
One or more path names, each of which specifies an element or branch:

foo.c

Element foo.c

foo.c@@

Element foo.c

foo.c@@/main/bugfix

Branch of element foo.c

(Versions cannot be locked; a path name to a version references the element object.) Using pname arguments restricts the listing to locks on those particular objects (but see the –all description below).

If pname has the form of an object selector, you must include the –pname option to indicate that pname is a path name.

Note: Specifying an element lists only the lock on the element itself, not on any of its branches.
–all
For each pname argument, lists all locks in the VOB containing pname. Has no effect if you do not specify any pname argument (because the default is to list all locks in the current VOB).
object-selector ...
One or more non-file-system VOB objects. The objects must exist in the VOB containing the current working directory, unless you specify another VOB with @vob-specifier. Specify object-selector in one of the following forms:

Table for object-selector

vob-selector

[vob:]pname-in-vob

pname-in-vob can be the 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). It cannot be the pathname of the VOB storage directory.

attype:type-name[@vob-selector]

branch-type-selector

brtype:type-name[@vob-selector]

element-type-selector

eltype:type-name[@vob-selector]

hyperlink-type-selector

hltype:type-name[@vob-selector]

label-type-selector

trigger-type-selector

trtype:type-name[@vob-selector]

pool-selector

pool:pool-name[@vob-selector]

oid-obj-selector

The following object selector is valid only if you use MultiSite:

replica-selector

replica:replica-name[@vob-selector]

Examples

The UNIX system and Linux examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you might 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 might 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 system and Linux shells or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.

  • List the locks on three label types.

    cmd-context  lslock lbtype:REL1 lbtype:REL1.1 lbtype:REL2
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock label type "REL1" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock label type "REL1.1" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock label type "REL2" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."

  • List the lock on a particular branch of a particular element.

    cmd-context  lslock util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock branch "util.c" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."

  • List the entire-VOB lock on the current VOB, in long format.

    cmd-context  lslock –long vob:.
    2007-12-08T14:57:58 Chuck Jackson (test user) (jackson.dvt@oxygen)
    lock versioned object base "s:\people\chuck\hw.vbs" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."

  • List all locked objects (including the obsolete ones) in the current VOB.

    cmd-context  lslock –obsolete
    —12-08T12:18 jackson lock file element
    "/usr/hw/src/hello.c@@" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock label type "REL1" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock label type "REL2" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:18 jackson lock branch type "test" (locked)
    "Locked except for users: gomez jackson"
    —12-08T12:18 jackson lock branch type "patch3" (obsolete)
    "Locked for all users (obsolete)."
    —12-08T12:18 jackson lock file element

    "/usr/hw/src/util.c@@/main/rel2_bugfix@@" (locked)

  • List the locks on two of the current VOB's storage pools.

    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock pool "staged" (locked)
    "Locked for all users."
    —12-08T12:19 jackson lock pool "cdft" (locked)
