What is the difference between locking an element version and locking a Label Type [lbtype]

问题

"cleartool lock" command can be applied to lbtype object "REL1" as well as "file element foo.c version \main\3".
Assume REL1 has been applied to foo.c@@\main\3.
Assume foo.c@@\main\2 is unlocked.

Applying lock to lbtype object "REL1" will prevent applying "REL1" to any more versions of any other files.
This will not prevent replacing "REL1" on an foo.c version \main\3 with another yet unlocked LABEL TYPE "REL2" for example.
This will prevent relocating "REL1" to foo.c@@\main\2 assuming foo.c@@\main\2 is unlocked.

Applying lock to "foo.c@@\main\3" will prevent removing the already applied RELEASE LABEL type to that particular version to be replaced or to add any more new LABEL TYPE to that foo.c@@\main\3 of the element or removing any already applied Release Label Types to foo.c@@\main\3.

Applying lock to an element version doesn't prevent checkout for the element version.

Are all the above statements correct, so that I understand difference locking Release Label Types and File Element Versions?

yes:

Label type. If a label type is locked, you cannot do the following:

Use the type in an rmtype, rename, or mklbtype –replace command

Attach or remove a version label of that type with mklabel or rmlabel (This includes moving a label from one version to another with mklabel –replace.)

This will not prevent replacing "REL1" on an foo.c version \main\3 with another yet unlocked LABEL TYPE "REL2" for example.

Not exactly "replacing": you can add many different labels on a given version.

This will prevent relocating "REL1" to foo.c@@\main\2 assuming foo.c@@\main\2 is unlocked.

Yes:

Version Lock:

If a version is locked, you cannot do the following:

Attach a label using mklabel

Remove a label using rmlabel or mklabel -replace

Attach an attribute using mkattr

Remove an attribute using rmattr or mkattr -replace

Remove the version using rmver
