Synopsis
Provide information about files in the depot without accessing their contents
Syntax
p4 [g-opts] files file[rev]...
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; the format of each line is:
depot-file-location#rev - action change change# (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, or integrate;
- change# is the number of the changelist that this revision was submitted in; and
- filetype is the Perforce file type of this file at the head revision.
Unlike most Perforce commands, p4 files will report on any file in the depot; it is not limited to only those files that are visible through the client view. Of course, if a file pattern on the command line is given in client syntax, only client files will be shown.
The specified revision can be a revision range; in this case, only those files that have revisions within the specified range will be listed, and the highest revision in that range is the listed revision.

- Since the output of p4 files can be quite large when called with highly non-restrictive file arguments (e.g., p4 files //depot/... will print information about all the files in the depot), it may be subject to a maxresults limitation as set in p4 group.
