/*
 * ClientUser - user interface primitives
 *
 * Public classes:
 *
 *	ClientUser - user interface for client services
 *
 * Note that not all methods are always used.  Here's a guideline:
 *
 * 	Used by almost all Perforce commands:
 *
 *		Finished
 *		HandleError
 *		OutputBinary
 *		OutputError
 *		OutputInfo
 *		OutputText
 *		File
 *
 *	Used only by commands that read the client's stdin:
 *		
 *		InputData
 *
 *	Used only by 'p4 fstat' and some other commands when the
 *	protocol variable 'tag' is set:
 *
 *		OutputStat
 *
 *	Used only by interactive commands that can generally be avoided:
 *
 *		Diff
 *		Edit
 *		ErrorPause
 *		Prompt
 *
 *	Used only by the default ClientUser implementation:
 *
 *		Help
 *		Merge
 *
 * Public methods:
 *
 *	ClientUser::InputData() - provide data to 'p4 spec-command -i'; 
 *		spec-command is branch, change, client, job, label, protect, 
 *		user, etc.
 *
 *	ClientUser::HandleError() - process error data, the result of a failed
 *		command.  Default is to format output and call OutputError().
 *
 *	ClientUser::Message() - output error or tabular data.  This is the
 *		2002.1 replacement for OutputInfo/Error: earlier servers
 *		will invoke still HandleError() and OutputInfo().
 *
 *	ClinetUser::OutputError() - output error data, the result of a failed
 *		command.
 *
 *	ClientUser::OutputInfo() - output tabular data, the result of most
 *		commands that report metadata.
 *
 *	ClientUser::OutputBinary() - output binary data, generally the result
 *		of 'p4 print binary_file'.
 *
 *	ClientUser::OutputText() - output text data, generally the result
 *		of 'p4 print text_file'.
 *
 *	ClientUser::OutputStat() - output results of 'p4 fstat'; requires
 *		calling StrDict::GetVar() to get the actual variable results.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Prompt() - prompt the user, and wait for a response.
 *
 *	ClientUser::ErrorPause() - print an error message and wait for the
 *		user before continuing.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Edit() - bring the user's editor up on a file; generally
 *		part of 'p4 spec-command'.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Diff() - diff two files, and display the results; the
 *		result of 'p4 diff'.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Merge() - merge three files and save the results; the
 *		result of saying 'm' to the resolve dialog of 'p4 resolve'.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Help() - dump out a block of help text to the user;
 *		used by the resolve dialogs.
 *
 *	ClientUser::File() - produce a FileSys object for reading
 *		and writing files in client workspace.
 *
 *	ClientUser::Finished() - called when tagged client call is finished.
