The info command lists basic data about your AccuRev setup: username, client and server
machine information, workspace and backing streams, etc. The show command lists the names of
items in the repository: depots, streams, workspaces, etc.
The files and stat commands (see Determining the Status of Files on page 23) list the status of
elements in a workspace, or in a stream. The name command lists the pathname of an element,
given its unique element-ID. This is particularly useful when an element has been renamed, and
so appears under different names to different users. The anc command determines several kinds
of ancestor versions of a specified version (or the common ancestor of two versions). The wip
command (see Tracking Other Users’ Work on page 24) lists the files under active development
in the entire set of workspaces based on a particular stream.
The hist command lists the transaction history of individual elements, or of entire streams or
depots.
The cat (or type) command retrieves the contents of a specified version of a file. The annotate
command lists the contents of a specified version, indicating information about how each line of
the file was created or modified.
The diff command compares two versions of a text file.
The translist command considers the set of elements that have versions pending promotion in a
particular workspace or stream; it lists the transactions that created those versions. The mergelist
command lists the files that need to be merged from one specified stream to another. Similarly, the
