p4 reopen

Move opened files between changelists or change the files' type.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] reopen [-c changelist] [-t filetype] file ...

Description

p4 reopen has two different but related uses:

• Use p4 reopen -c changelist file to move an open file from its current pending changelist to pending changelist changelist.
• Use p4 reopen -c default to move a file to the default changelist.
• Use p4 reopen -t filetype to change the type of a file.

If file patterns are provided, all open files matching the patterns are moved or retyped. The two options can be combined to move a file and change its type in the same operation.

Options

-c changelist	Move all open files matching file pattern file to pending changelist changelist. To move a file to the default changelist, use default as the changelist number.
-t filetype	When submitted, store file as type filetype. All subsequent revisions will be of that file type until the type is changed again. See File types for a list of file types.
g-opts	See Global options.
