Command Line Interface
You can view available Source Integrity commands by typing si.
To view a list of a command’s options, add -? or --usage to the end of the
command, for example, si connect -?.
In addition to using the command line interface by itself, you can also
combine the graphical user interface with commands entered in the
command line interface. This can be useful if you prefer to perform certain
operations in the command line interface and others in the graphical user
interface.
For example, you can use the si co command to check out a file, attaching
-g or --gui to the end of the command to view the Check Out dialog box.
You can then select check out options.
This allows you to use the Check Out dialog box without having to launch
the graphical user interface.
For more information on using the graphical user interface with the
command line interface, see the Source Integrity Enterprise Edition CLI
Reference Guide and the online man pages.
You can use some Source Integrity commands without specifying any
options, for example, si connect. Entering only the command prompts
you to add additional information that you would normally add in the
form of command options. This is useful for commands, such as si
connect, because the prompts may contain default information, for
example, your default Integrity Server and port number. This information,
if it exists, is in your IntegrityClient.rc or
IntegrityClientSite.rc file.
For project and sandbox commands, member refers to members of an
Integrity Server project. If the member argument is omitted for project or
sandbox commands, the command is applied to all of the members of the
project or sandbox. The member element must be the last entry of a
command statement.
