NAME¶
aegis change directory - change directory
SYNOPSIS¶
aegis -Change_Directory [
option... ][
relative-path
]
aegis -Change_Directory -List [
option... ]
aegis -Change_Directory -Help
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood:
- -BaseLine
- This option may be used to specify that the project baseline is the
subject of the command.
- -BRanch number
- This 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.
- -GrandParent
- This 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 number
- This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project.
See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
- -Development_Directory
- This 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.
- -Help
-
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the
aegis program.
- -List
-
This option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this
command. The list may be more general than expected.
- -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
$HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project field (see
aeuconf(5) for more information). If that does not exist, when the
user is only working on changes within a single project, the project name
defaults to that project. Otherwise, it is an error.
- -TERse
-
This option may be used to cause listings to produce the bare minimum of
information. It is usually useful for shell scripts.
- -TRunk
-
This option may be used to specify the project trunk for the origin file,
rather than the baseline. (See also -BRanch option, the -trunk
option is the same as the “-branch -” option.)
- -Verbose
- This option may be used to cause aegis to produce more output. By default
aegis only produces output on errors. When used with the -List
option this option causes column headings to be added.
See also
aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case
letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use
consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case
or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p"
are all interpreted to mean the
-Project option. The argument
"-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional
characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command
line, after the function selectors.
The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for
aegis are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "
--option=value" convention is also
understood.
RECOMMENDED ALIAS¶
The recommended alias for this command is
csh% alias aecd 'cd `aegis -cd \!* -v`'
sh$ aecd(){cd `aegis -cd "$@" -v`}
ERRORS¶
It is an error if the specified change is not in a state where it has a
directory to change to.
EXIT STATUS¶
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.
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.
