p4 dirs

Synopsis

List the immediate subdirectories of specified depot directories.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] dirs [-C -D -H] depot_directory[revRange]...

Description

Use p4 dirs to find the immediate subdirectories of any depot directories provided as arguments. Any directory argument must be provided in depot syntax and must end with the * wildcard. If you use the "..." wildcard, you will receive the wrong results!

p4 dirs only lists the immediate subdirectories of the directory arguments. To recursively list all of a directory's subdirectories, call p4 dirs multiple times.

By default, only subdirectories that contain at least one undeleted file will be returned. To include those subdirectories that contain only deleted files, use the -D flag.

This command is meant to be used in scripts that call Perforce; it is unlikely that you'll have a need to call it from the command line.

Options

-C

Display only those directories that are mapped through the current client workspace view.

-D

Include subdirectories that contain only deleted files. By default, these directories are not displayed.

-H

Include only those directories that contain files on the current client workspace's p4 have list.

g-opts

See the Global Options section.
