shelf

Add new or modified files in a working directory to a new or existing shelf. Shelves are temporary containers on the Surround SCM Server where you can store new and modified files before adding or checking them in to Surround SCM. You can use shelves to back up your work or to share files with other users before they are checked in.

sscm shelf Item1 [Item2...] [-nShelfName] [-bBranch] [-f] [-pRepository] [-r] [-i] [-llatest|-loriginal|-lleave] [-w] [-h] [-y[Username:Password|+|=]] [-zSCMServerAddr:PortNum|zPath] [+u]

Option Description
Item Files to add to the shelf. Enter / to use the repository specified in -p or the default working directory repository. Use quotes in Unix if Item includes wildcard characters.
