How to find force-writable files in Perforce

I was wondering if there is a way to find some files that have been made writable by a user. Usually Perforce is not able to clobber these files.

If you are using recent versions of perforce, the p4 reconcile -n ... command will descend directories from your current location looking for anything new or changed where the change is not under source control (I.e. you haven't used p4 edit).

The command above will show you how perforce would reconcile these changes and if you remove the -n it will then add those files to the default change list for edit, add or delete as indicated when you run the command with -n.
