Status queries for managed or unmanaged design artifacts

This query command returns the design management status of files.

Command-line interface command: gdmstatus

Usage:

gdmstatus [ –cdslib filename ] [ –lib lib.cell:view/file ]: [–file file ] [–xtra str ] [ –workarea ] [ –repository ] [ –civersion ] [ –coversion ] [ –updateversion ] [ –status ]; [–header ] [ –absolute ] [ –modified] [ –where ] [ –recurse ]

Description

This command returns the design management status of files. If no file is present, the command operates on the current directory and uses the -recurse option.

-cdslib <filename>: This option specifies the library definition file to use for mapping library names to library directories.
-lib <lib.cell:view/file>: This option specifies the library elements. Names that are listed without a -lib or -file argument are treated as file arguments.
-file <file>: This option specifies files and directories (nonlibrary elements) about which status is requested. Names that are listed without a -lib or -file argument are treated as -file arguments.
-xtra <str>: Not supported.
-civersion: This option shows the checked in version. If the file is checked out, the –civersion argument prints the version to be created after check-in.
-coversion: This option shows the checked out version. If the file is checked out, the –coversion option prints the version that was checked out. If the file is checked in, the –coversion option prints the checked-in version.
-status: This option shows the design manager (DM) status.
-header: This option shows the header for every column that is displayed.
-absolute: The output from this option shows absolute path names. By default, paths are relative to the current directories or are shown as library specifications.
-modified: This option shows annotations to file names. A file name is annotated with an asterisk (*) if it is modified or with a question mark (?) if its modification status is unknown. All checked out files are annotated with asterisks when their status is queried by using this option, which indicates that the files are modified or ready for modification.
-where: This option displays the checkout location and the user who checked out the artifacts. If the checkout location is returned, it is displayed; otherwise, the user is displayed.
-recurse: The -recurse option selects the entire directory hierarchy. If a nonlibrary specification is a directory name, by default the directory name refers only to the files immediately subordinate to that directory.
-help: This option displays information about this command and its arguments.
