NAME

aefinish - finish a change

SYNOPSIS

aefinish [ option... ]
aefinish -Help
aefinish -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

The aefinish command is used to finish development or integration of a change set. It examines the state of the change set, and executes the necessary Aegis commands to advance the change set to the next state.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-Change number: This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
-Help: This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aefinish program.
-Project name: This 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.

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 aefinish are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The “--option=value” convention is also understood.

EXIT STATUS

The aefinish command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aefinish command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

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.
