The cleartool single-line command mode

The cleartool command can be entered in two modes: single-line and interactive.

In single-line mode, type the cleartool and cleartool subcommand on one line at the command or system prompt.

For example, these commands do the following:

• cleartool man or cleartool man intro

  On Windows, displays the intro reference page in a Web browser.

  On Linux and UNIX, displays the intro reference page in a terminal window.

  The intro reference page is discussed in more detail later in this module.

• cleartool man -graphical or cleartool man intro -graphical

  On Linux and UNIX, displays the intro reference page in a Web browser.

• cleartool man command

  On Windows and Linux and UNIX, opens the reference page for the specified cleartool command. For example: cleartool man checkout.
