Error description

  • Online documentation for IBM Rational ClearCase's "cleartool
    find" differs compared to actual behavior.
    
    From the online manual:
    Default
        Find only those elements that are visible in the view
    (â “visible ).
    â “vis/ible
        Includes only those elements, along with their branches and
    versions, that are visible (have a standard path name) in the
    view.
    â “nvi/sible
        Includes only those elements, along with their branches and
    versions, that are not visible (do not have a standard path
    name) in the view.
    
    However with no options both visible and nvisible elements are
    shown.
    
    WORKAROUND:
    None.
