p4 submit -i [ -s ]
'p4 submit' commits a pending changelist and its files to the depot.
With no argument 'p4 submit' attempts to submit all files in the
'default' changelist. Submit provides the user with a dialog
similar to p4 change so the user can compose a changelist
description. In this dialog the user is presented with the list
of files open in changelist 'default'. Files may be deleted from
this list but they cannot be added. (Use an open command (edit,
add, delete) to add additional files to a changelist.)
If a (single) file pattern is given, only those files in
the 'default' changelist that match the pattern will be submitted.
The -c flag submits the numbered pending changelist that has been
previously created with p4 change or a failed 'p4 submit'.
The -i flag causes a changelist specification (including files to be
submitted) to be read from the standard input. The user's editor
is not invoked.
The -s flag extends the list of jobs to include the fix status
for each job, which becomes the job's status when the changelist
is committed. See 'p4 help change' for more notes on this option.
Before committing a changelist submit locks all associated files not
already locked. If any file cannot be locked, or if the submit
fails for any other reason the files are left open in a newly
created pending changelist.
Submit is guaranteed to be atomic. Either all files will be
updated in the depot as a unit or none will be.
