Synopsis

Display list of defined labels.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] labels [-t] [-u user | --me] [[-e|-E] filter] [-m max] [file[revrange]]
p4 [g-opts] labels [-t] [-u user | --me] [[-e|-E] filter] [-m max] [-a | -s serverID]
p4 [g-opts] labels -U

Description

p4 labels lists all the labels known to the Perforce service in the form: 

Label labelname date description

Use the -t option to display the time of the last update to the label. 

Label labelname date time description

To see a list of loaded static labels that tag specific files, specify a file pattern, with an optional revision range. (Because automatic labels refer to all files in the label view at a specified revision range, automatic labels are not shown when you use p4 labels with a file pattern.)

Use the -m max option to limit the output to the first max labels.

Use the -e or -E filter options to limit the output to labels whose name matches the filter pattern. The -e option is case-sensitive, and -E is case-insensitive.

Use the -u user option to limit the output to labels owned by the named user.

Options

-a

List all labels, not just labels bound to this server. This option may not be used with a file specification.

-e filter

List only labels matching filter (case-sensitive).

-E filter

List only labels matching filter (case-insensitive).

-m max

List only the first max labels.

-s serverID

List only those labels bound to the specified serverID. This option may not be used with a file specification.

-t

Display the time as well as the date of the last update to the label.

-u user

List only labels owned by user.

--me

Equivalent to -u $P4USER.

-U

List labels in the unload depot. For details, see p4 unload.
