11.11 Other Module Options |
|
Some other useful library options include:
- -unlock
Used to unlock a module. After you've locked a module for
editing, you might decide not to edit it after all. -unlock
will unlock it, ie. let someone else edit it.
- -force
Force a check-in or unlock even if not owning a lock. This can be
used to override the normal advisory locking that prevents
multiple simultaneous edits. Use with caution.
- -targets
Lists the targets (scripts or modules) that depend on (use) the
module named with -module
. This is useful to find out
what applications will be affected should the module be updated.
Somebody might be depending on your module that you're unaware of!
- -del
A module can be deleted with the -del
option. Only a
specific revision, or revisions older than some date, can be
deleted if the -rev
or -date
options are used with
it. Useful for pruning old revisions from the library when it
gets big. Unlike some revision systems such as SCCS, each
revision in the library is a complete copy of the source, so
previous revisions aren't needed to re-generate the latest
revision's source.
- -rev N.N
Name a specific revision N.N
for use with -del
.
- -date D
Give a Texis-parseable date D
for use with -del
.
- -wipelib
This option will completely erase the entire library, if
you want to start over from scratch. Use with caution!
