aegis -Change_Directory [relative-path]
aegis -Change_Directory -List [option...]
aegis -Change_Directory -Help
The
aegis
-Change_Directory
command is used to
obtain a path to change directory to.
If the
relative-path
is supplied, this will be added to the output.
This command is usually used to calculate an argument for cd(1), however it can also be used to obtain an absolute path for change and project files.
The following options are understood:
-BaseLineThis option may be used to specify that the project baseline is the subject of the command.
-BRanch numberThis option may be used to specify a
different branch for the origin file,
rather than the baseline.
(See also -TRunk option.\)
Please Note: the -BRanch option does not take a project name,
just the branch number suffix.
-GrandParentThis option may be used to specify the grandparent branch (one up from the current branch) for the origin file, rather than the baseline. (The -grandparent option is the same as the “-branch ..” option.)
-Change numberThis option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
-Development_DirectoryThis option is used to specify that the development directory is the subject of the command. This is only useful for a change which is in the being integrated state, when the default is the integration directory.
-HelpThis option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis program.
-ListThis option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this command. The list may be more general than expected.
-Project nameThis option may be used to select the project of interest.
When no
-Project
option is specified,
the
AEGIS_PROJECT
environment variable is consulted.
If that does not exist,
the user's
$HOME/.aegisrc
file is examined for a default project field (see
aeuconf(5)
for more information).
If that does not exist,
when the user is only working on changes within a single project,
the project name defaults to that project.
Otherwise,
it is an error.
-TERseThis option may be used to cause listings to produce the bare minimum of information. It is usually useful for shell scripts.
-TRunkThis option may be used to specify
the project trunk for the origin file,
rather than the baseline.
(See also -BRanch option,
the -trunk option is the same as the “-branch -” option.)
-VerboseThis option may be used to cause aegis to produce more output.
By default aegis only produces output on errors.
When used with the
-List
option
this option causes column headings to be added.
See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example:
the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are
all interpreted to mean the -Project option.
The argument "-prj" will not be understood,
because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors.
The GNU long option names are understood.
Since all option names for
aegis
are long,
this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.
The "--option=value" convention is also understood.
The recommended alias for this command is
csh% alias aecd 'cd `aegis -cd \!* -v`'
sh$ aecd(){cd `aegis -cd "$@" -v`}
It is an error if the specified change is not in a state where it has a directory to change to.
The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.
See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect
this command.
See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's
project_specific field for how to set environment variables for
all commands executed by Aegis.
