Field Detail

• DEFAULT

  public static java.nio.charset.Charset DEFAULT

  The default charset used for command and rpc header / key encodings when nothing else has been specified.

  This charset must have US ASCI as a proper subset, but other than that, it's not always clear what's the best default charset. Contenders include ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, windows-1252 (aka winansi); with minor issues, they'll all work, but those minor issues include things like euro sign misplacement, odd ligature screwups, etc. In the absence of anything better (or anything defined through the properties system), we currently use the JVM's default charset, since it's at least available, but this is certainly subject to further research and / or rethinking.

  Note that despite being tagged a constant, it's actually set dynamically in the static constructor below.

• DEFAULT_NAME

  public static java.lang.String DEFAULT_NAME

  The canonical name of the default charset. Actually set in the static class constructor.

• UTF8

  public static final java.nio.charset.Charset UTF8

  UTF-8 charset. Used for Unicode encodings between the Perforce server and client. Do not change this...

• UTF8_NAME

  public static final java.lang.String UTF8_NAME

  Canonical name of the UTF-8 charset we use.

• UTF16

  public static final java.nio.charset.Charset UTF16

  UTF-16 charset.

• UTF16_NAME

  public static final java.lang.String UTF16_NAME

  Canonical name of the UTF-16 charset we use.

• LOCAL

  public static final java.nio.charset.Charset LOCAL

  The current "local" JVM charset, as taken from the JVM itself. This is the charset that will be used by the JVM to encode and decode strings if no other encoding is supplied.

• LOCAL_NAME

  public static final java.lang.String LOCAL_NAME

  The canonical name of the local JVM charset.
