Describing global types
About this task
By default, the cleartool describe command shows the description of the global type for the object selector you specify. You can enter the command in the context of a VOB that does not contain a local copy of the type. To describe the local copy, use the –local option.
Example
cleartool describe –long lbtype:REL6@\dev
label type "REL6"

"final label for REL6"
owner: smg
group: user
scope: global
constraint: one version per element

cleartool describe –local –long lbtype:REL6@\dev
label type "REL6"
