p4 reviews is an unusual command. It was created to support external daemons, but it does nothing without the
Reviews:
field of thep4 user
form, which has a very specific meaning.It is possible to enter values in the
Reviews:
field that mean something originally unintended by Helix Server to create more generalized daemons. At Perforce, for example, we run a jobs daemon that sends email to any users who have subscribed to review jobs when a new job is submitted. Because there is nothing built into Helix Server that allows users to subscribe to review jobs, we co-opt a single line of theReviews:
field: Helix Server sends a job email to any users who have subscribed to review the non-existent path//depot/jobs/
. -
The command returns no output if there is no object to report on.
