svn proplist (plist, pl)

Description

List all properties on files, directories, or revisions. The first form lists versioned properties in your working copy, and the second lists unversioned remote properties on a repository revision (TARGET determines only which repository to access).

Options

--changelist (--cl) ARG
--depth ARG
--quiet (-q)
--recursive (-R)
--revision (-r) REV
--revprop
--show-inherited-props
--verbose (-v)
--xml

Examples

You can use proplist to see the properties on an item in your working copy:

$ svn proplist foo.c
Properties on 'foo.c':
  svn:mime-type
  svn:keywords
  owner

But with the --verbose (-v) flag, svn proplist is extremely handy as it also shows you the values for the properties:

$ svn proplist -v foo.c
Properties on 'foo.c':
  svn:mime-type
    text/plain
  svn:keywords
    Author Date Rev
  owner
    sally

List all the versioned properties inherited by a file in your working copy using the --show-inherited-props option:

$ svn proplist --show-inherited-props foo.c
Inherited properties on 'foo.c',
from 'http://svn.example.com/repos':
  svn:auto-props
  svn:global-ignores
Inherited properties on 'foo.c',
from '/home/theob/svn/working-copies/baz-wc':
  svn:auto-props

Lastly, you can get svn proplist output in XML format with the --xml option:

$ svn proplist --xml 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<properties>
<target
   path=".">
<property
   name="svn:ignore"/>
</target>
</properties>
