Displaying file status
To display information about single revisions of files, issue the
p4 files command. This command displays the locations
of the files in the depot, the actions (add,
edit, delete, and so on) performed on those
files at the specified revisions, the changelists in which the specified
file revisions were submitted, and the files' types. The following
example shows typical output of the p4 files
command:
//depot/README#5 - edit change 6 (text)
The p4 files command requires one or more
filespec arguments. Regardless of whether you use local, client,
or depot syntax to specify the filespec arguments, the p4
file command displays results using depot syntax. If you
omit the revision number, information for the head revision is displayed.
The output of p4 files includes deleted
revisions.
The following table lists some common uses of the p4
files command:
