Display ASCII graph of Cleartool ls commands

In git it is possible to show an ASCII graph of the log with git log --graph which outputs a commandline graph something like:

* 040cc7c       (HEAD, master) Mannual is NOT built by default
* a29ceb7       Removed offensive binary file that was compiled on my machine
| * 901c7dd     (cvc3) cvc3 now configured before building
| * d9e8b5e     More sane Yices SMT solver caller
| | * 5b98a10   (nullvars) All uninitialized variables get zero inits
| |/
| * 1cad874     CFLAGS for cvc3 to work succesfully
|/
* d642f88       Option -aliasstat, by default stats are suppressed
  • Is this also possible with ClearCase / ClearTool when using the lsstream or lsvtree commands, without the need to open a GUI?
Solution

  • Since I couldn't find anything that suited me, I created my own python script with this ability. It is still a little rough, but works for me.

    For anyone interested, it is available here as a github gist
