The setpref command places (or replaces) one or more entries in your XML-format AccuRev user preferences file:
preferences.xml in the
.accurev subdirectory of your AccuRev home directory.
(By default, the AccuRev home directory is determined automatically; but you can specify an AccuRev home directory with environment variable
ACCUREV_HOME.)
You can specify a single name/value pair on the command line. Alternatively, you can specify any number of name/value settings in an XML-format file. The simplest way to create such a file is to modify the output of a
getpref command.
If an environment variable has the same name as an entry in the user preferences file, AccuRev commands follow the environment variable and ignore the preference-file entry.
