()

A factory function that returns a Builder object to be used to fetch source files from the Perforce source code management system. The returned Builder is intended to be passed to the &f-SourceCode; function. This function is deprecated. For details, see the entry for the &f-SourceCode; function. Example: env.SourceCode('.', env.Perforce()) Perforce uses a number of external environment variables for its operation. Consequently, this function adds the following variables from the user's external environment to the construction environment's ENV dictionary: P4CHARSET, P4CLIENT, P4LANGUAGE, P4PASSWD, P4PORT, P4USER, SystemRoot, USER, and USERNAME.
