How to View Folder Contents (Command Line)

A folder can contain files and other folders.

To modify folder properties, see How to Modify File or Folder Properties (Command Line).

1. Determine which folder to view.

   For example, view the contents of the web-server/ApacheServer folder.

2. View the folder contents.

   $ changemgr files [ -u username ] [ -p file ] [ -l ] [ -d ] [ -R ] \ [ -o format ] [ relfilepath ... ]

   -l

   Present detailed information in tabular form.

   -d

   Present information about the folder itself, rather than about the folder's contents.

   -R

   Describe all the folder's descendents.

   -o format

   format is a blank-separated list or comma-separated list of property names. If you separate the property names with spaces, make sure that you surround the list of property names with quotes. The specified property values are displayed in a name-value format. If format is specified as all, then all properties are displayed. The output is suitable for programmatic parsing.

   relfilepath

   Specifies the path to a file or folder that is relative to the top of the Change Manager repository.

   For descriptions of the other options, see How to Create a Folder (Command Line).
