# p4survey

A survey tool to gather basic information about a P4 installation.

Download for your platform and execute.

The following should be defined in your environment (easiest) or can be provided as parameters to the tool:

* P4PORT - the p4d server you are talking to
* P4USER - the p4d user account you are using
* P4BIN - the path to the `p4` or `p4.exe` if it is not in your `$PATH` for your shell

Please note you should have logged in to the p4d server already, and have `super` privileges (to be able to execute some commands)

Tool with exit with an error if not being run as a logged in super user!
