checkout

Check out files or repositories when you need to make changes. Surround SCM copies a read-write version of the file into the working directory.

sscm checkout Item1 [Item2...] [-bBranch] [-ccComment|-cpCommentPath|-c-] [-e] [-f] [-h] [-pRepository] [-q|-q+|-q-] [-r] [-tcurrent|-tmodify|-tcheckin] [-vVersion] [-wprompt|-wreplace|-wskip] [-xChangelist] [-y[Username:Password|+|=]] [-zSCMServerAddr:PortNum|zPath] [+u]

Item	Files or repository to check out. Enter / to use repository in -p or the default working directory repository. Use quotes in Unix if Item includes wildcard characters.
-b	Branch that contains files or repository. If not specified, default working directory branch is used.
-c	Enter a comment or the comment text file path. Enter -cc to prompt for comment, -cp to prompt for the comment file path, or -c- if a comment is not needed. CommentPath can be full path of a local text file, partial path if file is in a subdirectory of current directory, or file name if file is in current directory.

-y	Enter a Surround SCM username and password if you do not want to use the default value. To use single sign-on, enter -y+. If you use an identity provider to authenticate, the provider web page opens if you have not yet authenticated. Authenticate with the provider and then return to the CLI.
-z	Enter the Surround SCM Server host computer address and port number if you do not want to use the default value. IPv6 addresses must be in square brackets. If you received a server settings file from your Surround SCM administrator, enter the path to the XML file instead of entering the server connection information.
