Displaying a description of a DO version

The describe command displays descriptions of DO versions, as it does descriptions of regular versions.

You can use the -fmt option to extract parts of the description. For example, the following command prints the name, predecessor version, and element type of a DO version:

cleartool describe -fmt "%n\t%[version_predecessor]p\t%[type]p\n" file1.o 
file1.o@@/main/2     /main/1  text_file

For more information about the -fmt option, see the fmt_ccase reference page.
