p4 labelsync

Synopsis

Synchronize a label with the contents of the current client workspace.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] labelsync [-a -d -n] -l labelname [file[revRange]...]

Description

p4 labelsync causes the named label to reflect the current contents of the client workspace by tagging the last revision of each file synced into the workspace with the label name. The label name can subsequently be used in a revision specification as @label to refer to the revision of the file that was tagged with the label.

Without a file argument, p4 labelsync causes the label to reflect the contents of the client workspace by adding, deleting, and updating the set of files tagged with the label.

If a file is given, p4 labelsync updates the tag for only that named file. If the file argument includes a revision specification, then that revision is used instead of the revision existing in the workspace. If the file argument includes a revision range, then only the highest revision in that range is used.

You can only update labels you own; if the label's Owner: field is not your userid, you cannot update it with p4 labelsync.

A label that has its Options: field set to locked cannot be updated with p4 labelsync.

Options

-a

Add the label to files that match the file pattern arguments, even if some of the files being labeled are deleted at their head revision.

-d

Delete the label tag from the named files.

-n

Display what p4 labelsync would do without actually performing the operation.

g-opts

See the Global Options section.
