p4 ignores
Synopsis
Displays the ignore mappings computed from the rules in P4IGNORE
files.
Syntax
p4 [g-opts
] ignores [-v]
[path
...]
p4 [g-opts
] ignores -i [-v]
path
...
Description
It’s not always easy to tell why a file is being ignored during add and
reconcile operations. To help with that, p4 ignores
lets you see
the mappings in Perforce syntax that are applied for any specified path.
If you do not specify a path, the mappings for the current working directory are displayed.
Using the -v
option outputs additional information about the source of
each set of mappings: the rule that generated them and the line number
in the file where the rule is defined.
The -i
option checks whether a filepath would be ignored; if it would,
the path is returned. With the -v
option, a more verbose message is
returned explaining whether the filepath would be ignored and if it
matched any ignore rules.
Options

Test to see if the specified filepath would be ignored. |

Report additional information about the When listing mappings, include the rules from which they were generated. When testing a filepath, include the rule that affected the output. |

The path to be tested. Specify the path using local syntax. |
