P4 CLI Reference | 2025.1

# Specification forms

Field names within a form are delimited from the value for the field using a colon (`:`) character.

## Form field values and indentation

When working with commands that create specs, such as `p4 client`, `p4 server`, and p4 depot follow this pattern:

Copy

    Description:
        Created by maria

where any lines under the field name are indented. For example,

Copy

    DistributedConfig:
        P4TARGET=host7:1234
        track=1
