Syntax conventions

Description

Writes the following to the specified zip file:

• the specified set of files
• the changelists that submitted those files
• the files' attributes
• any fixes association with the changelists
• all integration records that describe integrations to the files being zipped

The content of the zip file can be specified either by providing a filespec, which selects a set of revisions, or by providing one or more changelist numbers using the -c option, which selects all the revisions modified by those changelists.

The second form of the command writes a single shelved changelist to the specified zip file. When you use the -s option, you must also use the -A option.

The zip appears either in the server installation directory (P4ROOT) or the path that you specify in the file option.

Options

-A	Include the archive content of the new revisions.
-c change	Zips up just the files covered by the specified changelist.
-I	Excludes integration records for the new revisions.
-o filename	Specifies the zip file name.
-r remotespec	Specifies the remote spec to be used to re-map the files when they are written to the zip file.
-s	Specifies a shelved changelist to be zipped, instead of one or more submitted changelists. For more information, see the section "Fetch and push a shelved changelist" in the Using Helix Core Server for Distributed Versioning.
filespec	Specifies the filepath of the files to zip up.

Examples

p4 zip -o foo //...

Creates a zip file named foo with all changes and revisions.
