p4 zip

Package a set of files and their history for use by p4 unzip.

Syntax

p4 zip -o file [-r remote -A -I] [filespec | -c change]

p4 zip -o file [-r remote -A -I] -s shelf

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.

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 "Fetching and Pushing" chapter of Using Helix Core for Distributed Versioning.
`filespec`	Specifies the filepath of the files to zip up.
