Synopsis

List groups of users.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] groups [ -m max ] [ [ [ -i ] user | group ] | [ -v group ] ]

Description

Shows a list of all current groups of users as created by p4 group. Only the group names are displayed.

If the optional user argument is provided, only the groups containing that user are listed. If the optional group argument is provided, only groups containing the named group are listed.

Use the -i option to include groups to which the user (or group) belongs by means of being a member of a subgroup. If a group argument is given, only groups that contain the named group are displayed.

Use the -v option to display the MaxResults, MaxScanRows, MaxLockTime, and Timeout values for the named group, or, if no group is specified, for all groups.

Use the -m max option to limit the output to the first max groups.

Options
