-V Command-line Option

The -V option allows you to select earlier versions of a file and also can be used to assign Version Labels during certain commands. The -V option can be used to select either a specific revision or a revision/file containing a Version Label.

The following table lists ways to use the -V option.

Option	Description
-VR1.2	Selects revision 1.2
-VL"My Label"	Selects the revision/file with label My Label attached. If used in the context of CreateView and UpdateView, causes the basis of the View to be My Label.
-VA"My Label"	When a command allows you to assign a label, for example the CheckIn command, this option allows you to specify the version label to assign.
-VCA"New Label"	Similar to the -VA option, but creates a new version label.
-VD"DateTime"	AttachLabel only. Allows you to specify the revision by a timestamp rather than a Version Label. The revision selected will be the latest revision created before or on the DateTime specified. DateTime should be enclosed in double-quotes in your local format. e.g. -VD"29/12/2003 23:00"
-VP"Promotion Level"	CreateView and UpdateView only. If basing the View on a Promotion Level, use this command switch.

-VT"1.3.4"	Lists revisions up to the revision containing version label 1.3.4 . Should be combined with -VF to specify a range.
-VI	If included, the revision containing the 'from' version label will not be output in the report.
