ClearCase Commands

DOS bigots will appreciate the intuitive nature of the Unix equivalent of 'Help': 'man' (aka Manual Pages)

To get help on the entire command set enter:
cleartool man

To get help on a specific command enter:
cleartool man command
(eg: cleartool man co for help on the checkout command)

cl<return>
The prompt will change to cleartool.

exit<return>
or
quit<return>

Use the standard cd or cd .. commands to navigate the directory tree.

Warning! Be aware that if you exit from Cleartool back to the shell after having moved around in the directory tree within Cleartool, that you will NOT be returned to the directory that you were in when you entered Cleartool from the shell.

The pwd (present working directory) command can help you keep track of where you are.

cl xlsvtree filename
or
xcleartool

The xlsvtree graphics viewer is a powerful tool for viewing the version tree of a file. It is very useful for visual diffing of one version of the file against another, labelling versions or moving labels around.
