<h1><a name="top"></a>P4API - Wrapper around Perforce C++ API on Windows</h1>
<p>Contributed by Robert Cowham of Vizim Worldwide. Robert is a
<a href="http://public.perforce.com/guest/robert_cowham/pcp.html">Perforce 
Consulting Partner and Trainer</a>.</p>

<h3 ALIGN="LEFT">Introduction</h3>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">This is a simple wrapper around the P4API to make it slightly 
easier to use from C++, and to make it similar in function to P4Ruby, P4Python 
etc.</p>
<p ALIGN="LEFT">Requirements:</p>
<ul>
	<li>
	<p ALIGN="LEFT">Initally provided for Visual Studio 2008</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p ALIGN="LEFT">Tested using 
	<a href="http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2008/01/17/winunit-an-outstanding-native-c-unit-testing-tool.aspx">WinUnit</a> 
	(you need to install).</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p ALIGN="LEFT">Requires you to download P4API and currently install in 
	p4api-2007.3-vs2003_dyn_vsdebug (see .vcproj file). Will test with 2008.1 
	API shortly !</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>See <a href="P4APITest/P4APITest.cpp">P4APITest/P4APITest.cpp</a></p>
<pre>StrBuf errMsg;
P4Connection p4;
InitP4(p4);
p4.ParseForms();
WIN_ASSERT_ZERO(p4.Connect(errMsg), _T(&quot;Connect should work&quot;));
p4.Run(&quot;info&quot;, 0, NULL);
WIN_ASSERT_TRUE(p4.InfoArray()-&gt;Count() &gt; 0, _T(&quot;Some info returned.&quot;));
TraceResults(p4);

{
char *args[] = {&quot;-s&quot;};
p4.Run(&quot;login&quot;, 1, args);
TraceResults(p4);
}

p4.SetInput((LPCSTR) &quot;brunopass&quot;);
p4.Run(&quot;login&quot;, 0, NULL);
TraceResults(p4);</pre>
