P4V User Guide (2020.1)
Launching P4V components from the command-line client, P4VC
P4VC is a command-line client that can send certain P4 command-line commands to P4V without having to open a full P4V instance.
For example, if you are a P4 command-line client user who occasionally uses P4V to view the Revision Graph or the Stream Graph, consider using P4VC.
