Detailed Description

This class provides access to the definition for a Perforce spec type.

This includes: field names, field types, field options, preset values, comments, etc.

Fields with the dataType 'text' have several issues with whitespace:

  • Any trailing whitespace will be stripped
  • A trailing new-line will be added if not present
  • Any leading/intermediate lines will have trailing whitespace removed
  • Any line with non-whitespace content will preserve all trailing whitespace

P4_Spec_Definition::_fromSpecArray ( spec) [protected]

Convert 'p4 spec -o' output into the format of the internal data structure used by this class.

The data structure groups field metadata by field name and breaks multi-word fields into their component parts. For example:

array ( 'fields' => array ( 'Field1' => array ( 'code' => '310', 'dataType' => 'select', 'displayLength' => '12', 'fieldType' => 'optional', 'order' => '0', 'position' => 'L', 'options' => array ( 0 => 'local', 1 => 'unix', ) ), 'Field2' => array ( 'code' => '311', 'dataType' => 'wlist', 'displayLength' => '64', 'fieldType' => 'optional', 'wordCount' => '2' ) ), 'comments' => '# Comments for this spec.' )

Parameters:
array$specthe raw output from 'p4 spec -o'
Returns:
array the converted spec definition data structure.

            'fields'    => array(),

                'displayLength' => $length,
                'fieldType'     => $fieldType
            );
