Class P4::Spec
Description
P4::Spec
objects provide easy access to the
attributes of the fields in a Perforce form.
The P4::Spec
class uses Perl's AutoLoader to
simplify form manipulation. Form fields can be accessed by calling a
method with the same name as the field prefixed by an underscore
(_
).
Class Methods
$spec = new P4::Spec( $fieldMap ) -> array
Constructs a new P4::Spec
object for a form
containing the specified fields. (The object also contains a
_fields_
member that stores a list of field names
that are valid in forms of this type.)
Instance Methods
$spec->_<fieldname> -> string
Returns the value associated with the field named
<fieldname>
.
$client = $p4->FetchClient( $clientname );
$client->_Root(); # Get client root
$spec->_<fieldname>( $string )-> string
Updates the value of the named field in the spec.
$client = $p4->FetchClient( $clientname );
$client->_Root( $newroot ); # Set client root
$spec->PermittedFields() -> array
Returns an array containing the names of fields that are valid in this spec object. This does not imply that values for all of these fields are actually set in this object, merely that you may choose to set values for any of these fields if you want to.
my $client = $p4->FetchClient( $clientname );
my @fields = $p4->PermittedFields( $client );
foreach $field (@fields) {
print "$field\n";
}
