baseline-selector is of the form [baseline:]baseline-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the baseline's project VOB.

Examples

The UNIX system and Linux examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may 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 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 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.

Display the differences between the baselines rev17bl1 and rev17bl2.
cmd-context cleardiffbl rev17bl1 rev17bl2
