NAME¶
tkaenc - GUI interface for aenc, using TCL/TK
SYNOPSIS¶
tkaenc
DESCRIPTION¶
The
tkaenc command is used to provide a GUI interface to
aenc(1).
Its use should be self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.
The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project. It will be
defaulted using the usual Aegis defaulting rules. Click on the buttons to
obtain a pick list if you want to change it; then double-click an item to
select it. (I would have used tk_optionMenu, but it doesn't have a scroll bar,
even when all the items don't fit on the screen.)
The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the
brief_description and
description fields of the change
attributes. The text wraps in a natural way, both here and in (say) the
“
tkaenc -list change_details” listing, so only use
newlines to indicate end-of-paragraph.
The lower section contains three boxes. The first is the testing required for
the change - select as many or as few as is appropriate. The second a set of
radio buttons to select the change cause - pick one.
The third box is whether to begin development immediately (it will also run the
aedb(1) command), or whether to leave the change in
awaiting
development.
The “OK” and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect. The
cancel button simply quits. The OK button runs the
aenc(1) command - if
anything goes wrong (
e.g. asking for testing exemptions you can't
have) then the error message will be displayed in the message area at the
bottom of the window.
The number of the change will be printed on a message on the standard output,
just as for a normal
aenc(1) command.
OPTIONS¶
There are no command line options.
EXIT STATUS¶
The
tkaenc command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The
tkaenc 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.
