p4 lock


Synopsis

Lock an opened file against changelist submission

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] lock [-c changelist#] [file ...]

Description

Locking files prevents all other users from submitting changes to those files. If the files are already locked by another user, p4 lock will fail. When the user who locked a particular file submits the file, the lock is released.

This command is normally called with a specific file argument; if no file argument is provided, all open files in the default changelist will be locked. If the -c changelist# flag is used, all open files matching the given file pattern in changelist changelist# will be locked.

Options

-c changelist#

Lock only files included in changelist changelist#
