label -- Create or edit a label specification and its view
p4 label [ -f -t template ] name
p4 label -d [ -f ] name
p4 label -o [ -t template ] name
p4 label -i [ -f ]
Create a new label specification or edit an existing label
specification. A name is required. The specification form
is put into a temporary file and the editor (given by the
environment variable $P4EDITOR) is invoked.
The label specification form contains the following fields:
Label: The label name (read only.)
Owner: The user who created this label. Can be changed.
Update: The date this specification was last modified.
Access: The date of the last 'labelsync' or use of '@label'
on this label.
Description: A short description of the label (optional).
Options: Flags to change the label behavior.
locked Allows only the label owner to change its
specification. Prevents the label from
being deleted. Prohibits p4 labelsync
View: A mapping to select files from the depot.
The default view selects all depot files.
A label definition is used only by the p4 labelsync command.
Only the owner of a label may run labelsync on that label.
A label that has its Options: set to 'locked' cannot be updated.
Flag -d causes the named label to be deleted, as long as it is
not locked. The -f flag forces the delete.
The -o flag causes the named label specification to be written
to the standard output. The user's editor is not invoked.
The -i flag causes a label specification to be read from the
standard input. The user's editor is not invoked.
The -t flag constructs the label's view by copying the named
template label's view, instead of using the existing view or
creating a new default view.
The -f flag allows the superuser to delete any label; normally
locked labels can only be deleted by their owner. -f also allows
the last modified date to be set.
