Properties (Command Line)

Shows the properties of a Visual SourceSafe file or project. The information includes file type, designated as text or binary, and storage of only the latest version or all versions of a file. For definitions of the command options, see Command Options in this Help system.

Syntax

ss Properties <items> [-B] [-F-] [-H] [-I-] [-L] [-N] [-O] [-R] [-Y] [-?]

Project Rights

You must have the Read project right to view the properties of an item. You must have the Add/Rename/Delete project right to change the file type.

Remarks

If the Properties command is executed without the -B or -L option, it displays information about the file or project without changing the attributes of the file. With either the -B or -L option, the command changes the attributes of the file first, then displays the results of the change.

Examples

Shows property information on the file Test.c, and changes its file type to binary:

ss Properties -B TEST.C
