p4 reopen

Synopsis

Move opened files between changelists or change the files' type.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] reopen [-c changelist#] [-t filetype] file...

Description

p4 reopen has two different but related uses:

Use p4 reopen -c changelist# file to move an open file from its current pending changelist to pending changelist changelist#. Use p4 reopen -c default to move a file to the default changelist.
Use p4 reopen -t filetype to change the type of a file. (Please see the File Types chapter for a list of Perforce file types).

If file patterns are provided, all open files matching the patterns will be moved or retyped. The two flags may be combined to move a file and change its type in the same operation.

Options


`-c changelist# file`	Move all open files matching file pattern file to pending changelist changelist#. To move a file to the default changelist, use `default` as the changelist number.
`-t filetype file`	When submitted, store file as type filetype. All subsequent revisions will be that file type until the type is changed again.
`g_opts`	See global options section.
