job


    job -- Create or edit a job (defect) specification

    p4 job [ -f ] [ jobName ]
    p4 job -d jobName
    p4 job -o [ jobName ]
    p4 job -i [ -f ]

	'p4 job' creates and edits job specifications using an ASCII form.
	A job is a defect, enhancement, or other unit of intended work.
	The p4 fix command can associate changelists with jobs.

	With no arguments, 'p4 job' creates a blank job specification form
	and invokes the user's editor.  When the form is saved, a job name
	of the form jobNNNNNN is created.  If a jobName is given on the
	command line either that named job will be created or, if the job
	already exists, the job can be modified.

	As jobs are entered or updated, all fields are indexed for
	searching by p4 jobs  Text fields are broken into individual
	alphanumeric words (punctuation and whitespace are ignored) and
	each word is entered, case folded, into the word index.  Date
	fields are converted to an internal representation (seconds
	since 1970/01/01 00:00:00) and entered into the date index.

	The fields of a job are defined by the p4 jobspec command.
	There is a simple default jobspec that is used if no explicit
	one has been defined.

	The -d flag deletes the named job and any associated fixes.

	The -o flag causes the named job specification to be written
	to the standard output.  The user's editor is not invoked.

	The -i flag causes a job specification to be read from the
	standard input.  The user's editor is not invoked.

	The -f flag allows otherwise read-only fields to be set.
