2. AccuRev® Command-Line Reference : start

start
create a command shell in a workspace or reference tree
Usage
accurev start { -w <workspace> | -r <reftree> }
Description
The start command starts a new command shell:
In the new command shell, the current working directory is set to the top-level directory of the specified workspace or reference tree In addition, these environment variables are set in the new command shell:
ACCUREV_WSPACE
The name of the workspace.
ACCUREV_TOPDIR
The full pathname of the workspace’s top-level directory.
Using the start command is a convenience, not a requirement. An as alternative, you can simply cd to any directory within the workspace. (This won’t set the environment variables, though!) The accurev program automatically detects the fact that your current working directory is within an AccuRev workspace.
Options
-w <workspace>
Specify the workspace in which you wish to work. You don’t need to include the “_<principal-name>” suffix in the workspace name.
-r <reftree>
Specify the reference tree in which you wish to work.
Examples
Start working in workspace tulip_dvt:
> accurev start -w tulip_dvt
