p4 describe (graph)

Display a commit description.

Syntax

p4 describe -n //repo/name [-a -doptions -s] sha

Display information about the specified commit.

-a	Display the content of added files in addition to diff of updated files.
`-doptions`	Passes one or more options to the built-in diff routine to modify the output
`-s`	Display a shortened output that excludes the diffs of the files that were updated.

The diff options supported by p4 describe are:

Option	Name
`-dn`	RCS output format, showing additions and deletions made to the file and associated line ranges.
`-dc[num]`	context output format, showing line number ranges and num lines of context around the changes.
`-ds`	summary output format, showing only the number of chunks and lines added, deleted, or changed.
`-du[num]`	unified output format, showing added and deleted lines with num lines of context, in a form compatible with the `patch(1)` utility.
`-dl`	ignore line-ending (CR/LF) convention when finding diffs
`-db`	ignore changes made within whitespace; this option implies `-dl`.
`-dw`	ignore whitespace altogether; this option implies `-dl`.

p4 describe -n //repo/name SHA1

where SHA1 represents the commit SHA1 that is created after the submit occurs. A changelist that is pending does not yet have a SHA1.
