The tf msdn command displays documentation from video2.skills-academy.com that contains detailed information about a Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) command.

Prerequisites

See Default TFVC permissions.

Syntax

tf msdn commandname

Parameters

Argument

Argument Description
<commandname> Specifies a tf command for which to display documentation.

Remarks

When you need a command and aren't sure which one to use, enter tf msdn to see command reference articles and links to more resources. If you use the msdn command without specifying a commandname parameter, the article Use Team Foundation version control commands opens.

When you specify the commandname parameter, the documentation for that specific command opens. If the system can't find a match for the commandname, it searches for aliases and short names. If it doesn't find a matching command, alias, or short name, you get an error message.

For more information on how to use the tf command-line utility, see Use Team Foundation version control commands.
