Description

The lspolicy command lists all policies that are defined in the current VOB. The default behavior is to list all the policies defined in the current VOB.

Restrictions

Authorization

For the default listing, the principal must have the following permissions for all policies that are to be listed:
  • read-info on VOB object
  • read-name on policy
  • read-info on policy
For lspolicy -short, read-info on policy is unnecessary. Policies for which a principal lacks the required permissions are omitted from the listing.

Mastership

(Replicated VOBs only) No mastership restrictions.

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.
