Notes
When a client connects to the server, it attempts to discover the server's
Unicode mode setting, and it sets the
P4_port_CHARSET
variable to specify that setting: for non-Unicode, the variable is set to
none
; for Unicode, the variable is set to
auto
. If
P4_port_CHARSET
is
set to auto
, the client sets the
P4CHARSET
to
auto
. The client then examines its own environment to
determine what character set it needs to use in appropriately rendering
unicode files from the server.
The port
part of this environment variable
specifies the host:port
of the server to which
the client is connected.
