sspromote - copy changes from a child snapshot to its parent
sspromote
[-hHost] [-qpl] [-nRVy] [-Sparent-ss] [child-ss [path ...]]
sspromote
copies changes from a snapshot to its parent snapshot. By default, all non-conflicting
source changes are copied.
Three prompting formats are available. The normal
format is a one-line summary of which attributes are different. The long
(-l) format shows the actual attribute differences (except for content).
The short (-p) format shows only the paths of the files which are different.
No prompting (-q) can also be selected.
If path is given, only changes to
path will be copied.
Default options can be set on most
SnapshotCM commands. See wco(1)
for details.
If the working directory is
a mapped workspace, the child snapshot and host will default to the mapped
snapshot.
Use a single dot (".") for the child-snapshot in order to default
it and still enter a path.
- -hhost
- Operate on snapshots on host.
- -l
- Prompt with a long format listing of differences.
- -n
- Print normal output
and do normal prompting, but do not perform copy.
- -p
- Prompt with only the
path names of items with differences.
- -q
- Don't print or prompt with differences.
-y is assumed.
- -R
- Recursively copy changes to items in the hierarchy rooted
at path.
- -Sparent-snapshot
- Specify a parent snapshot into which to promote.
If omitted, the immediate parent of the source snapshot is used. Use this
option to skip generations during a promote.
- -V
- Print internal version and
exit.
- -y
- Do not prompt for confirmation.
Exit status is 0 for
success, 1 for error in copying a change, and >1 if there was a bad option
or a network error.
