Finding File Revisions in Labels

TASK

How do I find specific revisions of a file in a label?

SOLUTION

To find labels that contain specific revisions of a file, you must provide an appropriate revision specifier, as detailed below.

You can find out if any revison of a file is in a label by using the following command:

p4 labels file

To find the labels that only apply to a specific revision of a file, use the "#rev,rev" syntax. For example:

p4 labels //depot/path/to/foo.java#3,3 

The "#3,3" revision range (for a single revision) can also be written as "#=3".

When providing a single revision specifier, for example, "foo.java#3", the labels command will return all labels up to and including the specified revision. In other words, the single revision specifier "#3" is equivalent to "#<=3" and labels containing "foo.java#1" would be reported.

To see which labels are tagged to specific revisions in your client workspace, use the #have,have or #=have revision specifier.

Example

C:\aaa\p4work>p4 labels jobchanges.qry
Label test 2003/03/05 'Created by michael. '
Label test2 2003/02/26 'Created by michael. '
Label test3 2003/07/15 'Created by michael. '


C:\aaa\p4work>p4 labels jobchanges.qry#2
Label test 2003/03/05 'Created by michael. '
Label test2 2003/02/26 'Created by michael. '


C:\aaa\p4work>p4 labels jobchanges.qry#2,2
Label test2 2003/02/26 'Created by michael. '


C:\aaa\p4work>p4 labels jobchanges.qry#3,3
Label test3 2003/07/15 'Created by michael. '


C:\aaa\p4work>p4 labels jobchanges.qry#=have
Label test 2003/03/05 'Created by michael. '
