p4 reviews

Synopsis

List all the users who have subscribed to review particular files.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] reviews [-c changelist#] [file...]

Description

The p4 reviews command is intended for use in external programs that call Perforce.

Users subscribe to review files by providing file patterns in the Reviews: field in their p4 user form.

p4 reviews -c changelist# lists each user who has subscribed to review any files included in the submitted changelist changelist#. The alternate form, (p4 reviews file...), lists the users who have subscribed to review any files that match the file patterns provided as arguments. If you provide no arguments to p4 reviews, all users who have subscribed to review any files are listed.

Options

-c changelist#

It is possible to enter values in the Reviews: field that mean something originally unintended by Perforce in order 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 anytime a new job is submitted. Since there's nothing built into Perforce that allows users to subscribe to review jobs, we co-opt a single line of the Reviews: field: Perforce sends job email to any users who have subscribed to review the non-existent path //depot/jobs/... .

Thus, it is possible to use p4 reviews for purposes it wasn't meant to support, but you must be somewhat clever about it.
