About Perforce


Perforce is a software configuration management tool you can use to manage source files and other documents, such as multiple revisions of a manual, Web pages, or operating system administration files. The files managed by Perforce reside in a depot. To work on files, you open the files and edit them in your client workspace. When you're done, you submit changed files to the depot using a changelist. The depot keeps track of all the current and previous revisions of a file.

Perforce uses a client/server architecture. Perforce client applications, which include P4Win and the Perforce command line interface, communicate with the Perforce server using TCP/IP.
