Remarks
The labels command displays information about labels in the Team Foundation source control server. If you do not specify a Team Foundation source control server, the Team Explorer tries to determine the Team Foundation source control server based by using the current directory. If the current directory is not mapped to a Team Foundation source control server, you must specify one by using the /s option.
By default, the results display the owner, creation date and creation time for each label. If the format is changed to "detailed," comments and the list of files and folders associated with each label are also displayed.
For links to other Team Foundation commands that provide additional information about the items in your Team Foundation source control server and all of the workspaces that map to it, see Informational Commands.
Examples
The following example displays the list of labels created by user “jasonj.”
c:\projects> tf labels /owner:jasonj
The following example displays information about “build1033” label and lists the files and folders to which the label has been applied in the Team Foundation source control server.
c:\projects> tf labels /format:detailed build1033
The following example displays all labels in the Team Foundation source control server that have a labelname that begins with “build” and are owned by the account executing the labels command.
c:\projects> tf labels build*
Security
To use the labels command, you must have the Read permission set to Allow for all files or folders to which the specified label is attached. If you have permission to some, but not all the files referenced in the label, partial results are displayed. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
