Create or edit a label specification and its view
Create a new label specification or edit an existing label specification. A name is required. The specification form is put into a temporary file and the editor is invoked.
Running p4 label merely lists the files that are allowed to be included in the label. You'll need to use p4 labelsync to store files within the label.
| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Label: | Read-only | The label name as provided in the invoking command. |
| Owner: | Writable | The owner of the label. By default, the user who created the label. |
| Update: | Read-only | The date the label specification was last modified. |
| Access: | Read-only | The date and time that p4 labelsync was last run using this label. |
| Description: | Writable, optional | A description of the label's purpose. Optional. |
| Options: | Writable | locked or unlocked. If the label is locked, its contents can't be changed with p4 labelsync. |
| View: | Writable | A list of depot files that can be included in this label. No files are actually included until p4 labelsync is invoked. Unlike client views or branch views, which map one set of files to another, label views consist of a simple list of depot files. Please see the Views chapter for more information. |
| -d [-f] | Delete the named label if it's unlocked. The -f flag forces the deletion even if the label is locked. |
| -i | Read the label definition from standard input without invoking the editor. |
| -o | Write the label definition to standard output without invoking the editor. |
| -f | Allows the Update: field's date to be set. Can be used with either the -i flag or the -t flag for the same purpose. |
| -t template | Copy label template's view into the View: field of this label. |
| g_opts | See global options section. |
