p4 reviews
is an unusual command. It was created to support external daemons, but it does nothing without theReviews:
field of thep4 user
form, which has a very specific meaning.It is possible to enter values in the
Reviews:
field that mean something originally unintended by Perforce in order to create more generalized daemons. At Perforce, for example, we run a jobs daemon that sends email to any users who have subscribed to review jobs anytime a new job is submitted. Because there’s nothing built into Perforce that allows users to subscribe to review jobs, we co-opt a single line of theReviews:
field: Perforce sends job email to any users who have subscribed to review the non-existent path//depot/jobs/
.
