Provide information about files in the depot without accessing their contents.
Syntax
p4 [g-opts] files [-a -A -e] [-i][-m max] FileSpec[revSpec] p4 [g-opts] files [-a] [-e] [-m max] [--streamviews] FileSpec[revSpec]
p4 [g-opts] files -U unloadFileSpec
Description
This command lists each file that matches the file patterns provided as arguments. If a revision specifier is given, the files are described at the given revision. One file is listed per line, and the format of each line is:
depot-file-location#rev - action change changelist (filetype)
where:
- depot-file-location is the file’s location relative to the top of the depot,
- rev is the revision number of the head revision of that file,
- action is the action taken at the head revision:
add,edit,delete,branch,move/add,move/delete,integrate,import,purge, orarchive, - changelist is the number of the changelist in which the revision was submitted, and
- filetype is the Helix Core Server file type of this file at the head revision.
Unlike most
Helix Core Server
commands, p4 files reports on any file in the depot. I t is not limited to only those files that are visible through the client
view. If a file pattern on the command line is given in client syntax,
only files in the client workspace are shown.

- The specified revision can be a revision range. In this case, only
those files with revisions within the specified range are listed, and
by default, only the highest revision in that range is listed. (To
display information for all files within a revision range, use
p4 files -a.) - The output of
p4 filescan be large when called with non-restrictive file arguments. For example,p4 files //depot/...prints information about all the files in the depot. However,p4 filescommands can be subject to amaxresultslimitation that is set inp4 group.
