        java.util.List<IFileSpec> unsetFileAttribute​(java.util.List<IFileSpec> files,
                                             java.lang.String attribute,
                                             SetFileAttributesOptions opts)
                                      throws P4JavaException
        Unset file attributes on one or more files (unsupported). See the main Perforce documentation for an explanation of file attributes, which are potentially complex and difficult to use efficiently. Attributes can currently only be retrieved using the getExtendedFiles (fstat) operation.

        Parameters:
        files - non-null list of files to be affected
        attribute - attribute to remove from perforce
        opts - SetFileAttributesOptions object describing optional parameters; if null, no options are set.
        Returns:
        non-null but possibly empty list of filespec results for the operation.
        Throws:
        P4JavaException - if an error occurs processing this method and its parameters.

                                       throws P4JavaException
        Set file attributes on one. See the main Perforce documentation for an explanation of file attributes, which are potentially complex and difficult to use efficiently. Attributes can currently only be retrieved using the getExtendedFiles (fstat) operation.

        Parameters:
        files - non-null list of files to be affected
        attributes - a non-null Map of attribute name / value pairs; if any value is null, that attribute is removed.
        opts - SetFileAttributesOptions object describing optional parameters; if null, no options are set.
        Returns:
        non-null but possibly empty list of filespec results for the operation.

      • setFileAttributes

        java.util.List<IFileSpec> setFileAttributes​(java.util.List<IFileSpec> files,
                                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String> attributes,
                                            SetFileAttributesOptions opts)
                                     throws P4JavaException
        Set file attributes on one or more files (unsupported). See the main Perforce documentation for an explanation of file attributes, which are potentially complex and difficult to use efficiently. Attributes can currently only be retrieved using the getExtendedFiles (fstat) operation.

        Note that this method only accepts String attribute values; if the attribute is intended to be binary, use the setHexValue setter on the associated SetFileAttributesOptions object and hexify the value, or, alternatively, use the stream version of this method. String input this way will be converted to bytes for the attributes before being sent to the Perforce server using the prevailing character set. If this is a problem, use hex encoding or the stream variant of this method

        Note that attributes can only be removed from a file by setting the appropriate value of the name / value pair passed-in through the attributes map to null.

        Note that the filespecs returned by this method, if valid, contain only the depot path and version information; no other field can be assumed to be valid. Note also that, while the p4 command line executable returns a list of results that amounts to the cross product of files and attributes, this method never returns more than one result for each file affected.

        Parameters:
        files - non-null list of files to be affected
        attributes - a non-null Map of attribute name / value pairs; if any value is null, that attribute is removed.
        opts - SetFileAttributesOptions object describing optional parameters; if null, no options are set.
        Returns:
        non-null but possibly empty list of filespec results for the operation.
        Throws:
        P4JavaException - if an error occurs processing this method and its parameters.

                                            @Nonnull
                                            java.lang.String attributeName,
                                            @Nonnull

                                            SetFileAttributesOptions opts)
                                     throws P4JavaException
        Set a file attribute on one or more files using the passed-in input stream as the source for the attribute's value (unsupported). See the main Perforce documentation for an explanation of file attributes, which are potentially complex and difficult to use efficiently. Attributes can currently only be retrieved using the getExtendedFiles (fstat) operation.

        This method is intended to allow for unmediated binary definitions of file attribute contents, and is typically used for things like thumbnails that are too big to be conveniently handled using hex conversion with the strings-based version of this method. Absolutely no interpretation is done on the stream -- it's bytes all the way... there is also no hard limit to the size of the stream that contains the attribute value, but the consequences on both the enclosing app and the associated Perforce server of too-large attributes may be severe. Typical 8K thumbnails are no problem at all, but something in the megabyte range or larger might be problematic at both ends.

        Note that this method will leave the passed-in stream open, but (in general) the stream's read pointer will be at the end of the stream when this method returns. You are responsible for closing the stream if necessary after the call; you are also responsible for ensuring that the read pointer is where you want it to be in the stream (i.e. where you want the method to start reading the attribute value from) when you pass in the stream. I/O errors while reading the stream will be logged, but otherwise generally ignored -- you must check the actual results of this operation yourself.

        Note that the server currently only supports setting file attributes using a stream for one filespec at a time, but for reasons of symmetry you must pass in a list of (one) filespec. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean only one file is affected in the depot, just that only one file spec is used to specify the affected file(s).

        Note that attributes can only be removed from a file by setting the appropriate value of the name / value pair passed-in through the attributes map to null.

        Note that the filespecs returned by this method, if valid, contain only the depot path and version information; no other field can be assumed to be valid. Note also that, while the p4 command line executable returns a list of results that amounts to the cross product of files and attributes, this method never returns more than one result for each file affected.

        Parameters:
        files - non-null list of files to be affected.
        attributeName - the non-null name of the attribute to be set.
        inStream - non-null InputStream ready for reading the attribute value from.
        opts - SetFileAttributesOptions object describing optional parameters; if null, no options are set.
        Returns:
        non-null but possibly empty list of filespec results for the operation.
        Throws:
        P4JavaException - if an error occurs processing this method and its parameters.
