Data is returned in Perl arrays and hashes and input can also be supplied in these formats. Each P4 object represents a connection to the Perforce Server, and multiple commands may be executed (serially) over a single connection. =head1 BASE METHODS =over 4 =item P4::new() Construct a new P4 object. e.g. my $p4 = new P4; =item P4::Connect() Initializes the Perforce client and connects to the server. Returns false on failure and true on success. =item P4::DebugLevel( [ level ] ) Gets and optionally sets the debug level. Without an argument, it just returns the current debug level. With an argument, it first updates the debug level and then returns the new value. For example: $client->DebugLevel( 1 ); $client->DebugLevel( 0 ); print( "Debug level = ", $client->DebugLevel(), "\n" ); =item P4::Dropped() Returns true if the TCP/IP connection between client and server has been dropped. =item P4::ErrorCount() Returns the number of errors encountered during execution of the last command =item P4::Errors() Returns an array containing the error messages received during execution of the last command. =item P4::Disconnect() Terminate the connection and clean up. Should be called before exiting. =item P4::GetClient() Returns the current Perforce client name. This may have previously been set by SetClient(), or may be taken from the environment or P4CONFIG file if any. If all that fails, it will be your hostname. =item P4::GetCwd() Returns the current working directory as your Perforce client sees it. =item P4::GetHost() Returns the client hostname. Defaults to your hostname, but can be overridden with SetHost() =item P4::GetPassword() Returns your Perforce password. Taken from a previous call to SetPassword() or extracted from the environment ( $ENV{P4PASSWD} ), or a P4CONFIG file. =item P4::GetPort() Returns the current address for your Perforce server. Taken from a previous call to SetPort(), or from $ENV{P4PORT} or a P4CONFIG file. =item P4::MergeErrors( [0|1] ) For backwards compatibility. In previous versions of P4, errors and warnings were mixed in the same 'Errors' array. This made it tricky for users to ignore warnings, but still look out for errors. This release of P4 stores them in two separate arrays. You can get the list of errors, but calling P4::Errors(), and the list of warnings by calling P4::Warnings(). If you want to revert to the old behaviour, you can call this method to revert to the old behaviour and all warnings will go into the error array. i.e. $p4->MergeErrors( 1 ); $p4->Sync(); $p4->MergeErrors( 0 ); =item P4::Run( cmd, [$arg...] ) Run a Perforce command returning the results. Since Perforce commands can partially succeed and partially fail, you should check for errors using C. Results are returned as follows: An array of results in array context. undef in scalar context if result set is empty. A scalar result in scalar context if only one result exists. An array ref in scalar context if more than one result exists. Through the magic of the AutoLoader, you can also treat the Perforce commands as methods, so: $p4->Edit( "filename.txt ); is equivalent to $p4->Run( "edit", "filename.txt" ); Note that the format of the scalar or array results you get depends on (a) whether you're using tagged (or form parsing) mode (b) the command you've executed (c) the arguments you supplied and (d) your Perforce server version. In tagged or form parsing mode, ideally each result element will be a hashref, but this is dependent on the command you ran and your server version. In non-tagged mode ( default ), the each result element will be a string. In this case, also note that as the Perforce server sometimes asks the client to write a blank line between result elements, some of these result elements can be empty. Mostly you will want to use form parsing (and hence tagged) mode. See ParseForms(). Note that the return values of individual Perforce commands are not documented because they may vary between server releases. If you want to be correlate the results returned by the P4 interface with those sent to the command line client try running your command with RPC tracing enabled. For example: Tagged mode: p4 -Ztag -vrpc=1 describe -s 4321 Non-Tagged mode: p4 -vrpc=1 describe -s 4321 Pay attention to the calls to client-FstatInfo(), client-OutputText(), client-OutputData() and client-HandleError(). I =item P4::SetClient( $client ) Sets the name of your Perforce client. If you don't call this method, then the clientname will default according to the normal Perforce conventions. i.e. 1. Value from file specified by P4CONFIG 2. Value from $ENV{P4CLIENT} 3. Hostname =item P4::SetCwd( $path ) Sets the current working directory for the client. This should be called after the Connect() and before the Run(). =item P4::SetHost( $hostname ) Sets the name of the client host - overriding the actual hostname. This is equivalent to 'p4 -H ', and really only useful when you want to run commands as if you were on another machine. If you don't know when or why you might want to do that, then don't do it. =item P4::SetPassword( $password ) Set the password for the Perforce user, overriding all defaults. =item P4::SetPort( [$host:]$port ) Set the port on which your Perforce server is listening. Defaults to: 1. Value from file specified by P4CONFIG 2. Value from $ENV{P4PORT} 3. perforce:1666 =item P4::SetProg( $program_name ) Set the name of your script. This value is displayed in the server log on 2004.2 or later servers. =item P4::SetProtocol( $protflag, $value ) Set protocol options for this session. The most common protocol option is the "tag" option which requests tagged output format for commands which would otherwise get formatted output. For example: $p4->SetProtocol(tag,''); $p4->Connect(); my @f = $p4->Fstat( "filename" ); my $c = $f[ 0 ]->{ 'clientFile' }; =item P4::SetUser( $username ) Set your Perforce username. Defaults to: 1. Value from file specified by P4CONFIG 2. Value from C<$ENV{P4USER}> 3. OS username =item P4::WarningCount() Returns the number of warnings issued by the last command. $p4->WarningCount(); =item P4::Warnings() Returns the array of warnings from the last command $p4->Warnings(); =back =head1 SHORTCUT METHODS The following methods are simply wrappers around the base methods designed to make common actions easy to code. =over 4 =item P4::Tag() Equivalent to C. Responses from commands that support tagged output will be in the form of a hash ref rather than plain text. Must be called prior to calling C. =item P4::ParseForms() Request that forms returned by commands such as C<$p4-EGetChange()>, or C<$p4-EClient( "-o" )> be parsed and returned as a hash reference for easy manipulation. Equivalent to calling C and C. Must be called prior to calling C. =item P4::Fetch() Shorthand for running C<$p4-ERun( "cmd", "-o" )> and returning the results. eg. $label = $p4->FetchLabel( $labelname ); $change = $p4->FetchChange( $changeno ); $clientspec = $p4->FetchClient( $clientname ); =item P4::Save()> Shorthand for: $p4->SetInput( $spec ); $p4->Run( "cmd", "-i"); e.g. $p4->SaveLabel( $label ); $p4->SaveChange( $changeno ); $p4->SaveClient( $clientspec ); =item P4::SetInput() Save the supplied argument, which should be a hashref or a scalar string, as input to be supplied to a subsequent "p4 XXXX -i". =item P4::SubmitSpec()> Submits a changelist using the supplied change specification. Really a shorthand for SetInput() and Run( "submit", "-i" ). For example: $change = $p4->FetchChange(); $change->{ "Description" } = "some text..."; $p4->SubmitSpec( $change ); =back =head1 COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS This version of P4 is largely backwards compatible with previous versions with the following exceptions: 1. Errors and warnings are now saved in separate arrays by default. The previous behaviour can be reinstated for those with compatibility requirements by calling $p4->MergeErrors( 1 ); Splitting errors and warnings into separate arrays makes it easier to ignore warnings and only have to deal with real errors. 2. The DoPerlDiffs() method in previous versions is no longer defined. It was a legacy from an earlier release and was superceded in more recent versions. Users who still depend on that functionality should use a 1.x build of P4. Similarly, the corresponding DoP4Diffs() method is also removed. It was likely not used and is not necessary anyway. =head1 LICENCE Copyright (c) 1997-2004, Perforce Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
