Notes
The syntax for the contents of a
P4IGNORE
file is
not the same as Perforce syntax. Instead, it is
similar to that used by other versioning systems: files are specified in
local syntax, a #
character at the beginning of a line
denotes a comment, a !
character at the beginning of a
line excludes the file specification, and the *
wildcard matches substrings. The Perforce wildcard of
"...
" is not permitted.
For example:
# Ignore .p4ignore files .p4ignore # Ignore object files, shared libraries, executables *.dll *.so *.exe *.o # Ignore all HTML files except the readme file *.html !readme.html
