Overview of the AccuRev® Command-Line Interface : Entity Names

Entity Names
AccuRev deals with many kinds of named entities: files, directories, pathnames, depots, users, and so on. The table below details the restrictions on user-defined names for the various entities. Names are case-sensitive by default; for example, user john is not the same as user John. In case-insensitive depots, pathnames are case-insensitive.
Note: In the table below, “characters” means NON-NULL characters. Do not subtract 1 to account for the terminating NUL.
