How can I get a description of an added file in Perforce?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-1















For a command "p4 changes CLnumber#" I get something like this:



"...



Affected files



...



Differences



..."



It doesn't show description of added files. I would also like to get full description of files added in a given CL. How can I do that?

  • What do you mean by "full description of files" ? Do you mean a list of the file names? Or something else? And, is the command that you are running really p4 changes? Or is it possibly p4 describe?

  • Sorry for being unclear. I want to display an added file. "p4 changes" lists changelogs for a given user. "p4 describe" doesn't display file added in a changelog, it only shows differences between modified files. I guess "p4 print" may be useful, but I don't know how can I use it knowing only number of changelist in which added files appear.

  • p4 describe -s definitely should list added (and removed) files. Note that p4 describe won't print diffs for added/removed files, however.

I think what you want is p4 describe -du 1234 (where "1234" is the number of your changelist).

  • ...because added or removed files won't have diffs. It will, though, tell you the file was added or deleted (or moved).
