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.
