aegis -DELta_NAme(1) General Commands Manual aegis -DELta_NAme(1) NNAAMMEE aegis delta name - assign a symbolic name to a project delta SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS aaeeggiiss --DDEELLttaa__NNAAmmee [ _o_p_t_i_o_n... ] _n_a_m_e aaeeggiiss --HHeellpp aaeeggiiss --VVEERRSSiioonn DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN The _a_e_g_i_s _-_D_E_L_t_a___N_A_m_e command is used to add a symbolic name to a project delta. This is so that this name may be used, rather than the number, when extracting previous versions of the file using the _a_e_c_p(1) command. The --DDEELLttaa _n_u_m_b_e_r option on the command line specifies a delta number of the project. That is, it is the delta number assigned to an inte- gration. Delta names may only be applied to project baselines. If no delta number is given on the command line, the current baseline is the default. A name must be given on the command line. This is the name which will be assigned to the delta. If the name has already been used, you will be given a fatal error message. If you also specify the --OOvveerrWWrriittiinngg option the name will be removed from its previous delta and assigned to the requested delta. OOPPTTIIOONNSS The following options are understood: --HHeellpp This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the _a_e_g_i_s program. --DDEELLttaa _n_u_m_b_e_r This option may be used to specify a particular delta in the project's history to name. --DDEELLttaa__DDAAttee _s_t_r_i_n_g This option may be used to specify a particular date and time in the project's history. --DDeellttaa__FFrroomm__CChhaannggee _n_u_m_b_e_r This option may be used to specify a particular delta in the project's history, based on when the given change was success- fully integrated. --LLiisstt This option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this command. The list may be more general than expected. --OOvveerrWWrriittiinngg This option may be used to force overwriting of files. The default action is to give an error if an existing file would be overwritten. --PPrroojjeecctt _n_a_m_e This option may be used to select the project of interest. When no --PPrroojjeecctt option is specified, the _A_E_G_I_S___P_R_O_J_E_C_T envi- ronment variable is consulted. If that does not exist, the user's _$_H_O_M_E_/_._a_e_g_i_s_r_c file is examined for a default project field (see _a_e_u_c_o_n_f(5) for more information). If that does not exist, when the user is only working on changes within a sin- gle project, the project name defaults to that project. Oth- erwise, it is an error. --WWaaiitt This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if they cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's _l_o_c_k___w_a_i_t___p_r_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e if not specified, see _a_e_u_c_o_n_f(5) for more information. --NNoo__WWaaiitt This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access locks cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's _l_o_c_k___w_a_i_t___p_r_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e if not specified, see _a_e_u_c_o_n_f(5) for more information. See also _a_e_g_i_s(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 inter- preted to mean the --PPrroojjeecctt 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 _a_e_g_i_s are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "----_o_p_t_i_o_n==_v_a_l_u_e" convention is also understood. EEXXIITT SSTTAATTUUSS The _a_e_g_i_s command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The _a_e_g_i_s command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.
