Name

whist - display change history for file or directory

Synopsis

whist [-AdEHLMOPRTuVwYz] [-CDate] [-jpatternList] [-o/Path] [-r[Rev][:|-][Rev]] [-NWorkspaceName] [-Wuser[,...]] [-hHost -SSnapshot [-DDir]] name ...

Description

whist displays the history records for name. If name is a directory, display history for every item within the directory.

Workspace Mapping

Mapping is consistent across all workspace commands. See wco(1) for details.

Default Options

Default options can be set on most workspace commands. See wco(1) for details.

Workspace Options

The workspace mapping is automatically looked up in the user's workspace mapping table for the given files. Override this by specifying an explicit workspace:
-NworkspaceName
Use the named workspace mapping.

Or override with a temporary workspace mapping with these three options:

-hHost
Use the SnapshotCM server on Host for a workspace mapping.
-SSnapshotPath
Use SnapshotPath for a workspace mapping.
-DWorkspaceDirectory
The local destination directory for a workspace mapping. This can be a relative or absolute path. If this option is not provided with the other two, the local destination directory defaults to the current directory where the command is executed.

For more information on workspace mappings, see wmap(1) .

Options

-A
Only list changes which are ancestors of the current revision. Normally all revisions are displayed. Use this option to avoid displaying changes from unmerged parallel branches.
-cDate
Only list changes made on or after the given date. See wco(1) for supported date formats.
-d
If file is a directory, operate on it only, not the names within it. Combine with -R to operate recursively only on directories.
-E
Operate only on existing local files. A quick way to see the history on files you have in your workspace.
-H
Display only the history header, not information about individual revisions.
-jpatternList
List only files whose name (or path) matches patternList. PatternList consists of one or more patterns separated by a '|' (pipe/or) symbol. Each pattern can contain shell wild cards as follows:

* - match 0 or more characters
? - match any one character
[set] - match any character in set
[!set] - match any character not in set

A pattern not ending in a slash ('/') matches only files. A pattern ending in a slash matches only directories. A pattern containing a slash other than at the end is matched against the full workspace path. Otherwise pattern is matched against the last component of the path. If patternList begins with an '!' (exclamation/bang) character, the normal selection is negated.

-L
Operate only on locally locked files. A quick way to display history on files you are changing.
-M
Print workspace mapping before normal output.
-o/Path
Map /Path in the selected snapshot to the specified (-D) local directory, creating a temporary, partial workspace mapping for the command. Normally, the root directory of a snapshot is what is mapped.
-P
Merge changes for all files and directories into one list, sorted by path.
-r[Rev]:[Rev]
-r[Rev]-[Rev]
-rRev
List history for the specified revisions. If a ':' or '-' is given, a range of revisions will be selected. Otherwise, a single revision will be selected. In a range, the first Rev defaults to the beginning of the history, while the second defaults to the end of the history. A '-' range includes the lower Rev, while a ':' range does not. If the lower rev is defaulted, it is always included. The upper Rev is always included.

Rev can be a number or a relative or full snapshot path. If a snapshot path is given, the revision of the item referenced by that snapshot is used.

-R
Operate recursively on all files and directories.
-T
Merge changes for all files and directories into one list, sort by date.
-u
Enable showing history for deleted (recoverable) files and directories.
-V
Print internal version and exit.
-w
Only list changes made by the calling user.
-Wuser,...
Only list changes made by any of the comma separated list of users.
-Y
Suppress display of snapshots which reference a revision.
-z
Reverse sort the revisions.

Diagnostics

Exit status is 0 if all specified history were successfully retrieved, 1 if a file could not be accessed, and >1 if there was a bad option or a network error.
