.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBgetclose\fR uses the three dates specified on the commandline to find and
label PRs fixed in a particular release.
.TP
.B MIGRATION\fR \-\- the date of the migration for the current release
.TP
.B FREEZE\fR \-\- the date of the freeze for the current release

.P
.SH RESULTS
FIXED:foo:1234:the synopsis
.br
MAYBE:bar:1235:the synopsis
.P
Those marked \fBFIXED\fR were closed before the migration into the
current release. Those marked as \fBMAYBE\fR were closed after the
migration, but before the freeze; thus, the fix may or may not have
made it into the current release.  These need to be researched to find
out if the changes, if any, were included.

.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The \fBGNATSDB\fR environment variable is used to determine which database to
use.  For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access.
.P
For network access via \fIgnatsd\fR, it contains a colon-separated list
of strings that describe the remote database, in the form
.TP
\fIserver\fR:\fIport\fR:\fIdatabasename\fR:\fIusername\fR:\fIpassword\fR
.P
Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear;
otherwise, the value is assumed to be the name of a local database.
.P
If \fBGNATSDB\fR is not set, it is assumed that the database is local
and that its name is \fIdefault\fR.
