Notes
When a client connects to the server, it attempts to discover the
server’s Unicode mode setting, and it sets the
P4_port_CHARSET variable to specify that setting:
for non-Unicode, the variable is set to none; for Unicode, the
variable is set to auto. If P4_port_CHARSET is
set to auto, the client sets the P4CHARSET to auto.
The client then examines its own environment to determine what character
set it needs to use in appropriately rendering unicode files from the
server.
The port part of this environment variable specifies the host:port of the server to which the client is connected.
