depot -- Create or edit a depot specification
p4 depot name
p4 depot -d name
p4 depot -o name
p4 depot -i
Create a new depot specification or edit an existing depot
specification. The specification form is put into a temporary
file and the editor (given by the environment variable $P4EDITOR)
is invoked.
The depot specification form contains the following fields:
Depot: The name of the depot. This cannot conflict with
any branch, client, or label name.
Owner: The user who created this depot.
Date: The date this specification was last modified.
Description: A short description of the depot (optional).
Type: 'local' or 'remote'. Normally depots are locally
managed by the server and occupy space in the server's
root directory. A 'remote' depot is a reference to
files in another Perforce server.
Address: For remote depots, the $P4PORT (connection address)
of the remote server.
Map: Path translation information, in the form of a file
pattern with a single ... in it. For local depots,
this path is relative to the server's root directory
(e.g. depot/...). For remote depots, this path refers
to the remote server's namespace (e.g. //depot/...).
The -d flag deletes the named depot. If any files exist in the
depot they must be removed first with p4 obliterate
The -o flag causes the named depot specification to be written
to the standard output. The user's editor is not invoked.
The -i flag causes a depot specification to be read from the
standard input. The user's editor is not invoked.
