[p4] How to change Client Root definition?

[George Wong]

Thanks for your reply.  The "p4 client -i" command overwrites the entire client spec file.  I just want to override the "Root:" definition.
   
  For instance, Perforce has both a "P4HOST" global variable and "p4 -H" command to override the "Host:" definition.  I was wondering is there a similar thing for the Client Root?

  Sounds like you probably want to read up on the -i option for client (p4
help client) and use that option to pass in the spec from the command
line.
