| # | 
     Used in Perforce file patterns to indicate an absolute revision number. 
     | 
  
   
    | * | 
     A wildcard used in Perforce file patterns to match files at the current 
      path level.  | 
  
   
    | ... | 
     A wildcard used in Perforce file patterns to match files at the current 
      path level and all levels below it.  | 
  
   
    | @ | 
     Used in Perforce file patterns to indicate a symbolic revision identifier. 
     | 
  
   
    | absolute revision | 
     A revision number that identifies the ordinal version of a file. For 
      example, foo.html#17 is the 17th version of foo.html. 
     | 
  
   
    | branch | 
     To create new files with the integrate command. 
     | 
  
   
    | branch spec | 
     A stored branch view.  | 
  
   
    | branch view | 
     A mapping between two depot files or paths that defines their branching 
      relationship. Branch views control how the integrate 
      command behaves when it is used to create new files, or to propagate changes 
      between files. (Sometimes also called a "branch spec." See above.)  | 
  
   
    | changelist | 
     A record of a set of files changed at the same time.  | 
  
   
    | client | 
     The Perforce database entity that tracks your workspace and the files 
      synced to it.  | 
  
   
    | client spec | 
     The specification of your workspace location, the depot files you plan 
      on working with, and where they will appear in your workspace.  | 
  
   
    | client view | 
     The subset of depot files you plan on working with in your client workspace. 
     | 
  
   
    | client workspace |

     | 
  
   
    | file pattern | 
     The Perforce syntax for specifying a file or set files. May include wildcards 
      and/or revision specifiers.  | 
  
   
    | filelog | 
     The complete history of a file.  | 
  
   
    | head revision | 
     The latest or "tip" revision of a file.  | 
  
   
    | job | 
     A Perforce database object that can be used to track defects, enhancements, 
      or other intended work.  | 
  
   
    | label | 
     Provides a means for marking a particular set of file revisions for later 
      access. At any subsequent time, the label can be used to copy old file revisions 
      into a client workspace.  | 
  
   
    | label spec | 
     The specification that defines a label name and a label view. The label 
      spec creates the structure to build the label.  | 
  
   
    | label view | 
     The label view determines the depot files or paths that can be 
      associated with a particular label.  | 
  
   
    | labelsync | 
     Performing a labelsync populates a label with files.  | 
  
   
    | metadata | 
     The data in a Perforce system that describes workspaces, file histories, 
      users, changelists, etc.  | 
  
   
    | opened files | 
     The files you are changing (editing, adding, deleting, etc.) in your 
      workspace.  | 
  
   
    | path | 
     A directory or folder.  | 
  
   
    | pending changelist | 
     A list of some or all of files open in your workspace.  | 
  
   
    | port | 
     The hostname and listen address that identifies the Perforce server (for 
      example, public.perforce.com:1666).  | 
  
   
    | review daemon | 
     An optional program that the Perforce administrator can install to email 
      users when changelists are submitted by other users.  | 
  
   
    | standard (as in "Standard 
      mode")  | 
     An instance of P4Web that can be used for workspace operations such as 
      opening files and submitting changlists (as opposed to viewer mode). See 
      Administering P4Web for details. | 
  
   
    | submit | 
     The command that sends a pending changelist and contents of changed files 
      to the depot.  | 
  
   
    | submitted changelist | 
     A permanent record that is created when a pending changelist is submitted. 
     | 
  
   
    | symbolic revision | 
     A revision symbol that identifies a file at a particular revision associated 
      the state of the depot. For example: 
      
         
         foo.html@1234 is the latest revision of foo.html 
          at the moment changelist 1234 was submitted, regardless of whether foo.html 
          was part of changelist 1234. 
           
         foo.html@2000/06/06 is the latest revision of foo.html 
          as of 00:00:00 hours, 06 June 2000. 
           
         foo.html@topaz is the revision of foo.html 
          currently in either the "topaz" client workspace or in the "topaz" label. 
          (Because labels and clients can't have the same names, this situation 
          is not ambigous.) 
       
     | 
  
   
    | sync | 
     The command that copies files from the depot to your workspace. (Short 
      for "synchronize.")  |

      name.)  | 
  
   
    | user spec | 
     The specification describing various information associated with you 
      as a Perforce user, such as your full name and your email address.  | 
  
   
    | viewer (as in Viewer 
      mode) | 
     An instance of P4Web that can be used only for browsing, and cannot perform 
      workspace operations. | 
  
   
    | wildcard | 
    Perforce uses three wildcards for pattern matching: " * ", " ... 
      ", and "%d". Any number and combination of these can be used in a single 
      string: 
      
        - * matches anything except slashes; matches only within a single 
          directory. 
 
        - ... matches anything including slashes; matches across multiple 
          directories. 
 
        - %d is used for parametric substitution in views. Matches strings 
          similarly to the * wildcard, but can be used to rearrange the 
          order of the matched substrings. 
 
       
     | 
  
   
    | workspace | 
     The area on your local filesystem where you work on files managed by 
      Perforce. (Also called a "client workspace.")  |
