ClientUser - I/O for Helix Core Server commands
The ClientUser
class is used for all client-side input and
output. This class implements methods that return output from the server
to the user after a command is invoked, and gather input from the user
when needed.
Member functions in this class are used to format and display server output, invoke external programs (such as text editors, diff tools, and merge tools), gather input for processing by the server, and to handle errors.
Customized functionality in a
Helix Core Server
application is most typically implemented by subclassing
ClientUser
. In order to enable such customization, nearly
all of ClientUser
's methods are virtual. The default
implementations are used in the p4
command-line
client.
