Perforce 2009.2: Command Reference

p4 replicate

Synopsis

Poll for journal changes on one Perforce Server for forwarding to another Perforce Server.

Syntax

p4 replicate [-j token] [-s statefile] [-i interval] [-k -x] [-J prefix] [-o output] [command]

Description

This command polls for new journal entries from a Perforce Server, and either outputs them to standard output, or, if a command is specified, pipe the journal records to the command, which is spawned as a subprocess.

Options

-j token	Specify a journal number or position token of the form journalnum/byteoffset from which to start replicating metadata. If this flag is specified, it overrides any state file specification.
-s statefile	Specify a state file which tracks the most recent journal position.
-i interval	Specify a polling interval, in seconds. The default is two seconds. To disable polling (that is, to check once for updated journal entries and then exit), specify an interval of 0.
-J prefix	Specifies a filename prefix for the journal, such as that used with p4d -jc prefix
-k	Keep the pipe to the command subprocess open between polling intervals.
-x	Exit the p4 replicate command when journal rotation is detected.
-o savefile	Specify a file for output. If a command subprocess is specified, both the subprocess and the specified savefile are provided with the output.
g-opts	See the Global Options section.
