Notes
Perforce users can use the Host: field of the p4
client form to specify that a particular client workspace can be
used only from a particular host machine. When this field has been set,
the P4HOST variable can be used to fool the service into
thinking that the user is on the specified host machine regardless of
the machine being used by the user. As this is a very esoteric need,
there’s usually no reason to set this variable.
The hostname must be provided exactly as it appears in the output of
p4 info when run from that host.
