The
aegis -Make_Transparent
command is used to
add a file to the change which will result in the named file being made
transparent in the branch when the change is integrated.
The version of the project file from the deeper branch will then show through.
You may name a directory to make all files in that directory tree transparent. It is an error if there are no relevant files.
The aecpu(1) command may only be applied to a change. If you wish to perform the same operation on a branch, use the aemt(1) command, through the agency of a change.
The aegis program will attempt to determine the project file names from the file names given on the command line. All file names are stored within aegis projects as relative to the root of the baseline directory tree. The development directory and the integration directory are shadows of this baseline directory, and so these relative names apply here, too. Files named on the command line are first converted to absolute paths if necessary. They are then compared with the baseline path, the development directory path, and the integration directory path, to determine a baseline-relative name. It is an error if the file named is outside one of these directory trees.
The -BAse_RElative option may be used to cause relative filenames
to be interpreted as relative to the baseline path; absolute filenames
will still be compared with the various paths in order to determine a
baseline-relative name.
The relative_filename_preference in the user configuration file
may be used to modify this default behavior. See aeuconf(5) for
more information.
This command will cancel any build or test registrations, because changing the change file list logically invalidates them.
The make_transparent_command in the project configuration file is
run, if set. The project_file_command is also run, if set,
and if there has been an integration recently. See aepconf(5)
for more information.
The following options are understood:
-BAse_RElativeThis option may be used to cause relative filenames to be considered
relative to the base of the source tree.
See aeuconf(5) for the corresponding user preference.
-CUrrent_RElativeThis option may be used to cause relative filenames to be considered
relative to the current directory. This is usually the default.
See aeuconf(5) for the corresponding user preference.
-Change numberThis option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
-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.
-UNChangedExamine the named files to see if they are unchanged. Only remove the unchanged files from the branch, and leave the files which have changed. If no files are named on the command line all branch files are checked.
-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.
-WaitThis option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access
locks, if they cannot be obtained immediately.
Defaults to the user's
lock_wait_preference
if not specified, see
aeuconf(5)
for more information.
-No_WaitThis option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error
if access locks cannot be obtained immediately.
Defaults to the user's
lock_wait_preference
if not specified, see
aeuconf(5)
for more information.
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 aemt 'aegis -mt \!* -v'
sh$ aemt(){aegis -mt "$@" -v}
This command is dedicated to my wife, Mary-Therese. When I was trying to explain what this command did, she said "I had one of those on my bicycle when I was young, but it fell off".
It is an error if the change is not in the being developed state. It is an error if the change is not assigned to the current user. It is an error if the file is not present in the immediate branch. It is an error if the file is present in the immediate branch, but is not also present in a deeper branch. It is an error if the file is only present in the trunk branch.
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.
