Hmm... Sounds like your thinking of "labels" as if it were an Avery label to be stuck on an item. In Perforce, actually, labels are more analogous to a container. Each label is a list of files each with a specific revision number. The list of files in a given label can be displayed with

p4 files @label_a

or restricting the listing to those files in a certain directory (or even to a specific file) with

p4 files //depot/Mydir/... at label_a or p4 files //depot/Mydir/myfile.c at label_a

If the requested file is not in the label specified the output will indicate this. Using the above with

p4 labels

a script can be written to check which labels contain the needed file.

Is there an easier way? I'm not sure, perhaps others can provide suggestions...

what's the recommended way to find out which labels have been applied to a given version of a file?

for example, say i have a file //depot/foo#42 and there are 500 labels in my depot. how do i find out which of those 500 labels are on //depot/foo#42?
