VCP::Utils::p4 - utilities for dealing with the p4 command
use base qw( ... VCP::Utils::p4 ) ;
A mix-in class providing methods shared by VCP::Source::p4 and VCP::Dest::p4, mostly wrappers for calling the p4 command.
The p4 client name. This is an accessor for a data member in each class. The data member should be part of VCP::Utils::p4, but the fields pragma does not support multiple inheritance, so the accessor is here but all derived classes supporting this accessor must provide for a key named "P4_REPO_CLIENT".
Calls the p4 command with the appropriate user, client, port, and password.
Calls $self->parse_repo_spec, the post-processes the repo_user in to a user name and a client view. If the user specified no client name, then a client name of "vcp_tmp_$$" is used by default.
This also initializes the client to have a mapping to a working directory under /tmp, and arranges for the current client definition to be restored or deleted on exit.
$self->init_p4_view
Borrows or creates a client with the right view. Only called from VCP::Dest::p4, since VCP::Source::p4 uses non-view oriented commands.
Returns a list of known clients.
Returns the current client spec for the named client. The client may or may not exist first, grep the results from "p4_clients" to see if it already exists.
$self->queue_p4_restore_client_spec( $client_spec ) ;
Saves a copy of the named p4 client and arranges for it's restoral on exit (assuming END blocks run). Used when altering a user-specified client that already exists.
If $client_spec is undefined, then the named client will be deleted on exit.
Note that END blocks may be skipped in certain cases, like coredumps, kill -9, or a call to POSIX::exit(). None of these should happen except in debugging, but...
$self->p4_set_client_spec( $client_spec ) ;
Writes a client spec to the repository.
