.B -Edit
.br
.RS
Edit the attributes with a text editor, this is usually more convenient
than supplying a text file.  The \fIVISUAL\fP and then \fPEDITOR\fP
environment variables are consulted for the name of the editor to use;
defaults to \fIvi\fP(1) if neither is set.
See the \fIvisual_\%command\fP and \fIeditor_\%command\fP fields in
\fIaeuconf\fP(1) for how to override this specifically for Aegis.
.PP
Warning: Aegis tries to be well behaved when
faced with errors, so the temporary file is left in your home directory
where you can edit it further and re-use it with a \fB\-file\fP option.
.PP
The \fB\-edit\fP option may not be used in the background, or when the
standard input is not a terminal.
.RE
.TP 8n
.B -Edit_BackGround
.br
Edit the attributes with a dumb text editor, this is most often desired
when edit commands are being piped into the editor via the standard input.
Only the \fPEDITOR\fP environment variable is consulted for the name of
the editor to use; it is a fatal error if it is not set.
See the \fIeditor_\%command\fP field in \fIaeuconf\fP(1) for how to
override this specifically for Aegis.

\fB-Project\fP \fIname\fP
This option may be used to select the project of interest.
When no
.B -Project
option is specified,
the
.I AEGIS_PROJECT
environment variable is consulted.
If that does not exist,
the user's
.I $HOME/.aegisrc
file is examined for a default project field (see
.IR 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.

.r)
.PP
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.
.PP
All options are case insensitive,
you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both,
case is not important.
.PP
For example:
the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are
all interpreted to mean the \fB-Project\fP option.
The argument "-prj" will not be understood,
because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
.PP
Options and other command line arguments may be
mixed arbitrarily on the command line,
after the function selectors.
.br
.ne 4
.PP
The GNU long option names are understood.
Since all option names for
.I \*(n)
are long,
this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.
The "\fB--\fIoption\fB=\fIvalue\fR" convention is also understood.
.SH RECOMMENDED ALIAS
The recommended alias for this command is
.nf
.ta 8n 16n
csh%	alias aepa '\*(n) -pa \e!* -v'
sh$	aepa(){\*(n) -pa "$@" -v}
.fi
.SH ERRORS
It is an error if
the current user is not an administrator of the specified project.
