<sscmlabel>

Creates file or repository labels for a Surround SCM repository.

Labels provide a way to mark a specific version of a file or repository. You can create labels for single files, multiple files, or all files in a repository. When you create a label, a new entry is created in the history. The file, and the version number, do not change. Existing 'Release 1.0.1' labels on a file will be moved to the tip version of the file.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
label	string	The new label to create.	True
branch	string	Surround SCM branch name. The default is pulled from the local working directory.	False
comment	string	Comment for the label.	False
file	string	File or repository name. Can be / or empty, which means the repository specified by the `repository` attribute or the default repository.	False
overwrite	bool	Overwrite the existing label. The default is false.	False
recursive	bool	Recursively label all files. The default is false.	False
repository	string	Surround SCM repository path. The default is pulled from the local working directory.	False
version	string	The file version to label. Ignored if a filename is not specified in the `file` attribute.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
serverconnect	string	The address and port number of the Surround SCM server host computer. Format is server:port. If not entered, the last saved connection parameters are used.	False
serverlogin	string	The username and password used to login to the Surround SCM server. Format is username:password. If not entered, the last saved login parameters are used.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```

</arg>
