# Listing files and jobs affected by changelists

To list files and jobs affected by a specified changelist, along with the diffs of the changes, issue the `p4 describe` command. To suppress display of the diffs (for shorter output), specify the `-s` option. The following table lists some useful changelist reporting commands:

To list | Use this command
--- | ---
Files in a pending changelist | `p4 opened -c changenum`
Files submitted and jobs fixed by a particular changelist, including diffs | `p4 describe changenum`
Files submitted and jobs fixed by a particular changelist, suppressing diffs | `p4 describe -s changenum`
Files and jobs affected by a particular changelist, passing the context diff option to the underlying diff program | `p4 describe -dc changenum`
The state of particular files at a particular changelist, regardless of whether these files were affected by the changelist | `p4 files filespec@changenum`

For more commands that report on jobs, see Job reporting.
