DESCRIPTION
Note: A new directory element can be created only if its parent directory is checked out. mkdir appends an appropriate line to the parent directory's checkout comment.
The mkdir command creates one or more directory elements. (Operating system directory creation commands create view-private directories, not elements.) Unless you specify the –nco (no checkout) option, the new directory is checked out automatically. A directory element must be checked out before you can create elements and VOB links within it.
The mkelem –eltype directory command is equivalent to this command.
The new directory element is associated with the same storage pools (source, derived object, and cleartext) as its parent directory element. You can assign the directory to different pools with the chpool command. Note that the directory itself is stored in the database, but files created in the directory are stored in the pools associated with the directory.
In a snapshot view, this command also updates the directory element.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
Checkout of the New Directory
Event Records and Comments
- Default
- Creates one or more event records, with commenting
controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: –cqe).
See the comments reference page. Comments
can be edited with chevent.
- –c·omment comment | –cfi·le comment-file-pname |–cq·uery | –cqe·ach | –nc·omment
- Overrides the default with the option you
specify. See the comments reference page.
Mastership of the Main Branch
- Default
- Assigns mastership of the directory element's main branch
to the VOB replica that masters the main branch type.
- –master
- Assigns mastership of the main branch
of the directory element to the VOB replica in which you execute the mkdir command.
If your config spec includes –mkbranch lines or mkbranch rules
that apply to the directory element, and you do not use the –nco option, mkdir creates
these branches and assigns their mastership to the current VOB replica. mkdir also
prints a note that these branches are explicitly mastered by the current replica;
the output also displays the master replica of each associated branch type.
EXAMPLES
The UNIX 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 shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.
