.SH NAME
parent \- Path name of a workspace's parent
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B Codemgr_wsdata/parent
.LP
.SH DESCRIPTION
The file
.IB ws /Codemgr_wsdata/parent
(where 
.I ws
is the name of a workspace) is a text file that contains the path
name of
.IR ws 's
parent workspace.  
.LP
The 
.B parent 
file is created by the 
.B bringover 
command when it creates a new child workspace, or by the 
.B "workspace parent"
command if the workspace workspace was originally created with the
.B "workspace create"
command (and thus had no parent).
.LP
The following commands consult this file to obtain the name of a workspace's parent:
.TP 3
\(bu
.B bringover

TeamWare was formerly known as CodeManager. TeamWare commands specify parent workspace names in one of two formats:
.TP 3
1)
.I host_name:path_name
.IP
This format is used when the parent directory is mounted to the local file system
via the 
.B mount 
command.  This format ensures that the directory can be reached if users mount remote directories to different path names on their local host
file systems.
.TP
2)
.I path_name
.IP 
This format is used when the parent directory is mounted via the automounter.
By using the simple path name, it is assumed that users sharing workspaces use
the same automounter maps and that path names from local host file systems will
be consistent.
