DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _a_e_l_s	command	is used	to list	information about the
       files and directories named on the command line.	 If no
       files are named,	the current directory is listed.

       The view	presented is from Aegis' perspective.  It unifies
       the development directory with the baseline.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       The following options are understood:

       --RReeccuurrssiivvee

       --LLOOnngg   This option implies the --SShhooww--MMooddee, --SShhooww--
	       AAttttrriibbuutteess, --SShhooww--UUsseerr, --SShhooww--GGrroouupp, --SShhooww--SSiizzee
	       and --SShhooww--WWhheenn options, unless explicitly
	       overridden.

       --SShhooww--DDoott--FFiilleess
	       This option may be used to show files starting
	       with a dot (.).

       --HHiiddee--DDoott--FFiilleess
	       This option may be used to hide files starting
	       with a dot (.).	This is	the default.

       --SShhooww--RReemmoovveedd--FFiilleess
	       This option may be used to include removed files
	       in the listing.

       --HHiiddee--RReemmoovveedd--FFiilleess
	       This option may be used to exclude removed files
	       from the	listing.  This is the default.

       --SShhooww--MMooddee
	       This option may be used to include the mode column
	       in the listing.	The mode column	indicates the
	       file type and permissions.

       --HHiiddee--MMooddee
	       This option may be used to exclude the mode column
	       from the	listing.  This is the default.

       --SShhooww--AAttttrriibbuutteess
	       This option may be used to include the attributes
	       column in the listing.  The attributes column
	       indicates whether the file is part of the change,
	       the project or neither; whether the file	is being
	       created,	modified or removed; whether the file is
	       a sourec	file, a	test file, or neither.	This is
	       the default.

       --HHiiddee--AAttttrriibbuutteess
	       This option may be used to exclude the attributes
	       column from the listing.

       --SShhooww--UUsseerr
	       This option may be used to include file owner
	       information in the listing.

       --HHiiddee--UUsseerr
	       This option may be used to exclude file owner
	       information from	the listing.  This is the
	       default.

       --SShhooww--GGrroouupp
	       This option may be used to include file group
	       information in the listing.

       --HHiiddee--GGrroouupp
	       This option may be used to exclude file group
	       information from	the listing.  This is the
	       default.

       --SShhooww--SSiizzee
	       This option may be used to include file size
	       information in the listing.

       --HHiiddee--SSiizzee
	       This option may be used to exclude file size
	       information from	the listing.  This is the
	       default.

       --SShhooww--WWhheenn
	       This option may be used to include the file
	       modification time in the	listing.

       --HHiiddee--WWhheenn
	       This option may be used to exclude the file
	       modification time from the listing.  This is the
	       default.

       --HHeellpp
	       This option may be used to obtain more information
	       about how to use	the _a_e_l_s program.

       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 interpreted 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_l_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_l_s	command	will exit with a status	of 1 on	any
       error.  The _a_e_l_s	command	will only exit with a status of	0
       if there	are no errors.

EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT VVAARRIIAABBLLEESS
       See _a_e_g_i_s(1) for	a list of environment variables	which may
       affect this command.
