Overview

This Perforce library is a slim C++ wrapper around the P4API as provided by Perforce (http://www.perforce.com). It currently supports many common operations while abstracting away much of the grunt work necessary to use Perforce's API.

Download

The Perforce library can be downloaded here: http://nocturnal.insomniacgames.com/releases/Perforce

Dependencies

This library depends on the P4API available from: ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/

Examples

This is a very simple and incomplete example, but it gives an indication of how the VersionInfo structure is used and a brief example of the style of the API: 

#include "Perforce/Perforce.h"
 
if ( !P4::Initialize() )
{
  throw Nocturnal::Exception( "Failed to initialize perforce library!" );
}
 
std::string path = "x:/project/some/file.txt"; // could also be a perforce spec, eg: x:/project/some/...
 
P4::V_VersionInfo p4Info;
P4::FStat( path, p4Info );
 
// this will only have one element in our example, but if it had used wildcards, it could have multiple
P4::V_VersionInfo::const_iterator vItr = versionInfo.begin();
P4::V_VersionInfo::const_iterator vEnd = versionInfo.end();
for( ; vItr != vEnd; ++vItr )
{
  if ( (*vItr).m_Operation == P4::Operations::Edit )
  {
    printf( "%s (%s) is opened for edit.\n", (*vItr).m_LocalPath.c_str(), (*vItr).m_DepotPath.c_str() );
  }
}
 
// sync to the head revision
P4::Sync( path, p4info );
 
P4::Cleanup();
