wmerge merges content changes
from a snapshot file into a workspace file. The merge requires three revisions
of a file: two revisions with changes and a common ancestor revision. In
many circumstances, wmerge knows all three revisions so no revisions need
to be specified.
If no revisions are specified, wmerge operates on locked
files whose lock is out-of-date because of a concurrent change. On success,
concurrent changes are incorporated into the workspace file and the lock
is updated to the current revision to reflect the merge.
If one revision
is specified, changes unique to that revision are merged into the workspace
file.
If two revisions are specified, changes made from the first (BaseRev)
revision to the second (RightRev) revision are merged into the workspace
file. Note: Changes are directional. Thus a change can be "undone" by reversing
the order of the revisions.
If name is a directory, wmerge operates on
all appropriate files in that directory.
Mapping is
consistent across all workspace commands. See wco(1)
for details.
Default options can be set on most workspace commands. See wco(1)
for details.
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)
.
- -A
- Include overlap text for all 3 revisions in merged file.
- -B
- Check
out all files using 'binary' I/O mode.
- -E
- Include overlap text for left and
right revisions in the merged file.
- -jpatternList
- Merge only files whose
base name matches patternList.
PatternList consists of one or more patterns
separated by a '|' (pipe/or) symbol. Each pattern is a shell wild card pattern
as follows:
* - match 0 or more characters
? - match any one character
[set] - match any character in set
Individual patterns ending in a slash
('/') match directories only. Individual patterns not ending in a slash match
only files.
If the list begins with an '!' (exclamation/bang) character, the
list selects items not matching any patterns.
- -kkv, -kk, -kv, -ko
- Override the
default keyword expansion mode for all check outs. See wco(1)
for more information.
- -K
- Ignore keyword value differences. Use this option to avoid merge conflicts
caused only by differing keyword values.
- -M
- Print workspace mapping before
normal output.
- -n
- No execute mode. Show the operations that would happen,
but do not really execute them.
- -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
- Write merged file contents to 'stdout'.
- -PProgram
- Set the merge
program. Program may be 'merge' or 'tkdiff'.
- -q
- Quiet, do not display normal
output messages.
- -rRev
- Specify revisions to merge. Up to three revisions
can be given.
- -R
- Operate recursively on all files and directories in the
hierarchy.
- -tLockCmt
- Set Lock Comment to this string.
- -T
- Check out all files
using 'text" I/O mode.
- -v
- Display file revision information during check out.
- -V
- Print internal version and exit.
- -W
- Mark the local file writable after
check out.
- -X
- Display 'full archive path' names.
Exit status is
0 if all specified files were successfully merged, 1 if a file could not
be merged, and >1 if there was a bad option or a network error.
