P4DELTA(1)			  p4delta 1.3.1 		      P4DELTA(1)

NAME
     p4delta  -  Summarize  the differences between a Perforce project and local
     files.

SYNOPSIS
     p4delta [options] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Summarizes the differences between a  Perforce  project  and  local  files,
     showing  the  changes of the files themselves and of their contents. Added,
     changed, and deleted files are denoted with `+', `*', and `-' respectively.
     The number of lines are displayed.

OPTIONS
     -c, --confirm
	 Confirm deleted files with the user before removing them from Perforce.
	 The default is simply to execute the remove command for relevant files.
	 This option is valid only with the --execute option.

     -e, --execute
	 Execute the associated Perforce commands ("add", "edit", and  "remove")
	 for the added, edited and deleted files.

     -f, --force
	 Compare  all  local  files against those in Perforce. The default is to
	 compare only the local files that are opened.

     -h, --help
	 Display a help message.

     -q, --quiet
	 Run with minimum output.

     -v, --version
	 Display the version and exit.

     -V, --verbose
	 Run with maximum output.

ARGUMENTS
     Arguments may be either files or directories.

     FileIf a file is provided, it is compared against the equivalent in CVS, if
	 any. The .cvsignore files are applied, so that although  the  file  was
	 explicitly provided, it may be ignored.

     Directory
	 Directories  are  processed recursively for files that are not filtered
	 out by .cvsignore files.

     FileIf a file is provided, it is compared against the  equivalent	in  Per-
	 force,  if  any. .p4ignore files are applied, so that although the file
	 was explicitly provided, it may be ignored.

     Directory
	 Directories are processed recursively for files that are  not	filtered
	 out by .p4ignore files.

EXAMPLES
	 % p4delta

     Lists the changed files.

	 % p4delta --execute

     Lists  the  changed files, and executes the associated add, edit and remove
     commands.

	 % p4delta --execute --confirm

     Add, edit and remove the appropriate files, but get confirmation  from  the
     user before removing any files.

ENVIRONMENT
     $HOME/.p4ignore, .../project/.p4ignore
	 Files	and  directories may be filtered by .p4ignore files, locate both
	 in the user's home directory and locally, in each directory. For  exam-
	 ple:

	     *.bak
	     *.class
	     *.o
	     *.out
	     *~
	     .libs
	     logs
	     core

	 See  http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_18.html#SEC170 for how this
	 is used in CVS, from which this idea was taken.

     $HOME/.p4deltarc, .../project/.p4deltarc
	 Resource files containing name/value pairs, separated by either ':'  or
	 '='.  The  valid fields of a .p4deltarc file are as follows, with their
	 default values:

	     quiet:   false
	     verbose: false
	     execute: false
	     force:   false

	 "yes" and "on" are synonymnous with  "true".  "no"  and  "off"  signify
	 "false".

	 The  values  in  the project .p4deltarc file will override those in the
	 user's .p4deltarc file. The project .p4deltarc  is  searched  from  the
	 current directory up through each parent directory that is in Perforce.

     P4DELTAOPTS
	 A  string  of	whitespace-delimited  options, the same as listed above.
	 These values override those of the resource files.

NOTES
     If a file exists in the Perforce project but not  locally,  it  is  assumed
     that the file has been deleted, not that it may have been recently added by
     another user. The --confirm option can be used to deal with this situation.
