p4 fstat


Synopsis

Dump file info in format suitable for parsing by scripts.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] fstat [ -c changelist# ] [ -C -l -H -P -s -W] file[rev]...

Description

The p4 fstat command dumps information about each file, with each item of information on a separate line.

The output is best used within a Perforce API application where the items can be accessed as variables, but is also suitable for parsing by scripts from the client command output.

1, 2, 3... n

unresolved

the number, if any, of unresolved integration records

1, 2, 3... n

ourLock

set if the current user has the file locked, otherwise blank

1 or blank

fileSize

file length in bytes (requires -l option, may be expensive to compute)

63488

Options

-c changelist#

Displays only files affected since the given changelist number. This option is much faster than using a revision range on the affected files.

-C

Limits output to files mapped into the current workspace.

-l

Include a fileSize field displaying the length of the file.

Note that this field may be expensive to compute, particularly for text files with many revisions.

-H

Limits output to files on your have list; that is, files synced in the current workspace.

-P

Display the clientFile in Perforce syntax, as opposed to local syntax.

-s

Shortens output by excluding client-related data (for instance, the clientFile field).

-W

Limit output to files opened in the current workspace.

g_opts

See the Global Options section.

The -s global option (which prefixes each line of output with a tag describing the type of output as error, warning, info, text, or exit) can be particularly useful when used with p4 fstat.
